Following up on the smash success of their remix of Pretty Lights' "New Moon Same Dark," Matt Madonna and Ryan Anderson are experiencing what many in the industry would call a complete metamorphosis. In line with the transformation in sound comes Shift Happens, the new album from Love and Light out today on Simplify Recordings.

The 8-track album is a departure from the duo's traditional mid-tempo sound, perfect for the Playa with its banging beats and thundering bass. With this new crop of tunes, the guys slowed things down a bit, bringing out the beautiful possibilities of lush instrumentations and more delicate melodies.

Standout tracks like "Pinion Juniper" and "Key-O'Metric Saturns" play around with Asian influences, twanging strings, and even chiptune. The glitch vibe is strong with L&L, but the pair are able to take a more longitudinal approach to their tunes, with a fuller, deeper sound.

The release coincides with the final week of the guys' national tour, which started back in February with Spankalicious, and concluded with a run up and down the west coast with Psymbionic. Dates in Reno, Denver, Ft Collins, and Flagstaff put an exclamation point on what has already been a hugely successful spring. Now all eyes turn towards an exciting festival season. #ShiftHappens.
