Where The Wild Things Are Soundtrack is in stores now!.

Quadron is a duo featuring Denmark’s Robin Hannibal and Coco who you may remember from our very underrated Boom Clap Bachelors, who we featured late last year. There side project self titled album is mixture of melodic mood music with just the right amount of soul to top it off. Here’s “Horse” a beautiful tune from the debut that further validates why this genre continues to spread globally.

We’re speechless…and not in a good way. Can anyone explain to us the idea behind this video? We’ve played it four times in a row, hoping that we could come up with some kind of logic behind the video. Maybe you guys can do better then us. Check the video out and let us know what you think the meaning behind it is.

Being ahead of my time, kinda pays slow
