As the pandemic started to clear up, Tampa electronic duo Alien House gave listeners Flora, written in a bubble, but meant for the world at large. A year later, the duo—Justin Myers and Anthony Tarallo—returned with You.

“The 12-song collection sits tightly at about 40 minutes and knits together a collage of sounds: thrift store cassette tape samples, distorted vocals, breaks that make you bop, and a percussive energy that’s impossible not to move to,” Creative Loafing Tampa Bay wrote last year.

These days, the band is selective about gigs, but Myers regularly pops up for a new electronic music series curated by Image Research Records.

UPDATED: 09/11/24 1:38 p.m. Updated to correct the album title ‘Flora’ and remove the word ambient from headline.
