Canadian electro-duo Blue Hawaii (Raphaelle ‘Ra’ Standell and Alexander ‘Agor’ Kerby) have announced their return after roughly four years apart. Tenderness, a concept album that tackles online relationships in this modern age, is set for release on October 6 via Arbutus Records and features the lead single “No One Like You”.
Ra, who also serves as the lead vocalist of Calgary group Braids, and Agor made their debut back in 2010 with the release of their EP Blooming Summer, a collection of songs that followed their travels throughout Central America. Fast forward three years and the pair found themselves touring a breakup record entitled Untogether. Since then, Ra has been busy with Braids while Agor has called both Los Angeles and Berlin home, honing his craft of dance music production and DJing.
Blue Hawaii will play select shows in the UK and Europe this November. See below for a list of dates, as well as Tenderness‘ full tracklisting and listen to “No One Like You” above.
