Illumination, the debut album from Melbourne's Miami Horror, came out on EMI on 20 August 2010, two years after the Bravado EP. What began as producer and DJ Benjamin Plant's solo project had opened up into a collaboration, with Josh Moriarty on vocals and guitar and Daniel Whitechurch in the mix, and it sounds like a crew raised on Prince's strut, New Order's glide, Todd Rundgren's sugar and a little Pink Floyd, all polished with house-music gloss.
"Sometimes" and "Holidays" are pure sunshine synth-pop, glittering and a little wistful, and guest turns from Neon Indian and Kimbra widen the palette. It debuted at number 10 in Australia and was nominated for Best Dance Release at the 2011 ARIA Music Awards, losing out to Cut Copy's Zonoscope.
