Away From The Sea is the debut studio album by French electro house artist, Yuksek. The album was released on 9 Feb 2009 through Barclay Records.
The first single from the album, "Tonight", was performed live in China and featured in the video produced by Peugeot for their 200-year anniversary. [8]
The second single from the album, "Extraball", was used in an advert by the Lacoste clothing brand to release their "Red Label" line of clothing. [9]
The hidden track of the album was composed by The Bewitched Hands. It consists in a rearranged and acoustic version of Tonight. This track is also used at the end of the video clip Tonight, where Yuksek takes part of a choir. [10]
The album received average reviews, with the exception of Yuksek's collaboration with
Philadelphian singer
Amanda Blank, which is often described as the album's highlight.
[3]
[11] Jon Davies, of dailymusicguide, stated that "
Spank Rock's Amanda Blank livens up the track with her irresistible flow while Yuksek backs her with outrageously filthy beats and a few riffs stolen from
Daft Punk"; while tempering this was his view of the album as a whole, stating that "It's questionable why anyone would want to listen to this when you can hear
Justice do this kind of thing infinitely better."
[3]
URB magazine were more positive, stating that "Away From The Sea is altogether an impressive effort that establishes Yuksek’s sound without hindering his creativity" and awarding the album 4 out of 5 stars.
[5]
All tracks written and produced by Pierre-Alexandre Busson, except where noted.
