Sirens

Released in October 2014, Sirens is the debut studio album by English electronic duo Gorgon City (Kye Gibbon and Matt Robson-Scott). The album arrived at the height of the UK's deep house and garage resurgence, alongside acts like Disclosure and Duke Dumont. It was a commercial success, peaking at number 10 on the UK Albums Chart and spawning several hit singles including 'Ready for Your Love' and 'Here for You'. The record is notable for its collaborative nature, featuring a diverse array of vocalists which helped the duo achieve crossover success. Sonically, the album is defined by its 'Gorgon' bass sound - a specific FM-style synthesis that provides a warm, punchy, and melodic foundation. Critics noted the album's ability to maintain a cohesive 'duo' identity despite the many guest features, praising the sophisticated production and the seamless blend of 90s garage influences with contemporary pop sensibilities.
