Ímpar

by NIAGARA

supported by

Nic Brown Niagara are purveyors of, for want of a better term, punk house. Recorded live, the 5 tracks on Impar lurch, pop, slam and seethe as though they could splinter and fly apart at any moment and it's this thrilling unpredictability that makes Niagara fit so snugly into the roster of Principe, a label which has swiftly become a byword for wild and wayward, experimental dance music. Go get. Favorite track: Abacaxi Limão.

about

"Fans of raw house and bizarro disco will love this one. “Impar” sounds like what legendary Disco-Punk bands like ESG or Optimo might be doing if they were in their 20’s living in Portugal right now. An absolutely essential release!"
(MUSIC IS MY SANCTUARY)
---
"Niagara borrow mutant disco's tropes and proceed to bend them to their own wishes. The electric bass [on "Abacaxi Limão"] stubbornly digs in its heels while everything else threatens to fly apart like a tool shed in a tornado."
(PITCHFORK)
---
"Played live, and retaining that feral quality that has made this label so addictive, Niagara configures 6 tracks ranging from infected and dripping Lil Louis vibes on 'Arruda' to the cascading, synth-heavy hooks on 'Cheetah', before signing off with 'Alagarta' like some heat-infected Mr Oizo at his deadliest."
(BOOMKAT)
---
“Abacaxi Limão” is a vibrant track that sounds so alive you can almost hear the rugged bassline breathing."
(JUNODOWNLOAD)
---
"The jammy nature gives it both a feeling of momentum and immediacy, which is almost non existent in house music. Who knew house music could be this raw, this urgent, this amazing?"
(CYCLIC DEFROST)
---
"Absolutely storming stuff from this Lisbon native, sure to be destined for great things in this post-everything world we live in."
(PICCADILLY RECORDS)
