Utopia could be a physical location. It could be a certain era. It could simply be a state of mind. The definition varies for each of us, but its core concept of bliss, safety, and perfection persists. Perhaps now more than ever, we seek such nirvana. Often, we need to create this feeling ourselves. That’s what St. Lucia has done with their first new music in 4 years. Led by husband-and-wife duo South Africa-born Jean-Philip Grobler and Germany-born Patti Beranek, the group retreat from a fractured world on fire and into the glow of a rapturous synth-spiked electro-pop catharsis—like a dance party at the edge of existence. On the aptly titled Utopia I EP, St. Lucia beams out a light of their own and shines brighter than ever.
