Listen: Benihana – Festivals

As we’ve mentioned many times this year, Ireland’s burgeoning music scene is not to be overlooked. Today we bring you Benihana, a duo out of the Republic of Ireland, Kildare to be exact.

What’s fascinating about the emerging electronic acts from this region is how they all manage to intertwine this beautiful atmospheric feel into their sound. As if providing a geographical guide to their quaint homeland, Will Molloy & Billy Archbold lead you through sun-glinted pitch shifts, rapid bursts of swirling synth, and dark building basslines rolling along mysterious, unpaved roads. A cinematic history brought to life through bold, brassy synth, dancing bouts of organ notes, and the ever so subtle bit of sexiness.
