Praise for “Endless Stairs”:
“Paris is on fire. While the house revival of 2013 has pulled focus to London, across the Channel, there are some fresh new sounds emerging from the City of Lights, including electro duo SomethingALaMode.” – Billboard
“For the last four years, SALM members Thomas and Yannick have been rocking dancefloors of all sorts.” – Beatport
“A marriage of strings and synths…captivating.” – Bullett Magazine
“That Parisian sense of ice cool never quite melts away. Relative newcomers to the French dance scene, SomethingALaMode are steeped in that sensibility, fusing fashion with synth pop to create something dark, moody and utterly contagious.” – Clash Music
“Pop-tinged…ethereal.” – Hypetrak
“The fruits of this labor radiate on the new single “Prophet 21,” a calculated turn into much dark sonic vistas. Sure, Thomas’s violin and Yannick’s cello are still there, buttressed by a full orchestra; but, the electronic currents are moodier, influenced, as they say, by the synthesized classical work of A Clockwork Orange composer Wendy Carlos.” -MTV Iggy
“Paris electronic duo SomethingALaMode are making lots of waves with their new synth-tastic new ‘Toy Spark Gun'” – Société Perrier
“Fantastical…haunting classical-dance amalgam “Prophet 21” is your new joie de vivre.” – Vibe
