The New York-based duo known as SOFI TUKKER have been on our radar for some time now. They were one of our 'Artists to Watch' earlier this year and have now finally released their long awaited debut album, Soft Animals. With a supporting tour earlier this year with The Knocks and now hitting the road with M83, this group has managed to find global success from the release off just three various singles. Well deserved though, as their modern take on Bossa Nova music—with various electronic elements, live vocals and killer guitar melodies— have resonated with a wide range of fans. This is certainly a contender to become one of the top album/EP releases of the year. Check out their full album below:
