It's still without being static, evocative while not provocative, silly but never stupid." The video made the band the "most blogged about act" for that month on HypeM, and as of February 2022, the video holds over 750 million views on YouTube. SPIN wrote about the video, "the clip for 'Stolen Dance' nails the visual for its artist in a way that feels definitive and not overly self-conscious. However, it quickly became a viral hit, racking up millions of views. It was first uploaded to YouTube on 4 April 2013 and they had low expectations for the track. In an interview with Edmonton's Sonic 102.9, the band said that it took them three years to write the song " Stolen Dance". Before finishing and releasing the record, they released several singles on SoundCloud and on YouTube.

MILKY CHANCE SONGS AND ALBUM TV
The band made their TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October 2014, and also won the European Border Breakers Award that month. The album peaked at number 14 in Germany, and in 2014, Spin named Sadnecessary their Album of the Week. Their debut album, Sadnecessary, was released in October 2013 and included the single " Down by the River". It also won the 1Live Krone radio award for Best Single.
Their first single, " Stolen Dance", was released in April 2013, topping the charts in several countries. It consists of vocalist and guitarist Clemens Rehbein, bassist and percussionist Philipp Dausch, and their band members, Antonio Greger and Sebastian Schmidt. Mind the Moon isn’t that, nor is it particularly my cup of tea, so I’ll keep to Milky Chance’s hit singles from here on out.Milky Chance is a German rock band originating in Kassel. That song is original and easygoing with varying vocals and lyrics about loneliness and loss. Songs like “Stolen Dance” are great on their own, but a whole album of them can get boring and tiresome. It’s as if the artists were actually on the moon when putting it together, a little out of touch with what’s happening down on Earth. The lyrics are understandable and meaningful, about pain and escaping emotions. It’s the kind of tune you’d hear closing out an indie coming-of-age film. The voices double as background music and complement the hardly-present string instrument. The deep, raspy voices underlying the choruses and bridge carried me through the song. The standout song is “Eden’s House.” The sound is much fuller with the addition of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, a South African group.
Tash Sultana adds a silky smooth voice to a track with mostly casual vocals. The album grabs my attention for a little with “Daydreaming,” the most striking feature being the feminine voice on the track, albeit only briefly. Collaborations usually add new sounds and elevate the music, presumably because of the cliche “two heads are better than one.” That’s not the case here, unfortunately, until Tan comes in for the bridge, singing in French (something I didn’t even notice until my third listen). There aren’t any engaging lyrics that pull me in and force me to listen.Ĭase in point: “Rush” features another artist, Témé Tan, and still sounds like everything else. They’re all so one-note you can’t tell them apart. However, unlike an album such as Pony by Rex Orange County, the songs don’t flow into each other naturally. This is the type of album where if you’re not paying attention, three songs will pass by unnoticed because you can’t tell where one starts and the other ends. There’s no real story, except for the chorus which repeats “This is Fado” over and over again.
“Fado,” which references a type of Portuguese song with a melancholy theme, is made up of easy beats that build on top of each other, but the lyrics are confusing and extremely repetitive.
