Led by husband-and-wife duo South Africa-born Jean-Philip Grobler and Germany-born Patti Beranek, St. Lucia 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. Now signed to Nettwerk Records, the group beams out a light of their own and shines brighter
than ever. “In a way, this is my personal rebellion against the darkness of the world,” states Jean-Philip. “It’s easy to feel
depressed these days, so I’m trying to bring something joyous to the world. I was sick of seeing shit on the Internet, and I
just wanted to feel good. That’s what being human is about. We have to feel alive, despite whatever the fuck is going on.”
St. Lucia has always stirred these kinds of emotions. It started with When The Night, which boasted fan favorites like
“Elevate,” “All Eyes On You,” and “Closer Than This,” entered the Billboard Top 200 and hit #6 on Billboard’s Heatseekers
Album chart. Its follow-up Matter, yielded the hit “Dancing On Glass,” while the band collaborated with artists ranging from Jack Antonoff to RAC. Two years later, Hyperion represented a creative and critical high watermark with praise from Billboard, who hailed the album as “buoyant,” and PopMatters who raved, “it feels revelatory.”
“When you listen to this, I hope you feel inspired and like life is worth living,” Jean leaves off. Patti adds, “it unleashes
things, and I think we did a good job capturing that.”
