Kasablanca's "Higher Resolution" Album Turns Trials Into Triumphs Through Stunning Dance Music

In just a few years, Kasablanca have proven they have a lot to say—and they’re not done yet. 

The duo's debut album, Higher Resolution, to be released in two parts, is an intimate and deeply layered expression of their journey, both personal and musical. After a few years of explosive success, the duo is still maintaining their place as one of electronic music’s most compelling acts of the moment.

The album is an exploration of resilience, personal battles, rebirth and the drive to keep moving forward. Its titular track is a rhythmic tone-setter with vocoder-laced lyrics cutting through the atmosphere, as if echoing from a distant future. 

Much of the album's first chapter similarly delivers a sense of euphoria that feels almost cinematic in scale, like "Remission," their triumphant collaboration with Lane 8. Released just days before Micky of Kasablanca was declared cancer-free, the song feels prophetic, as if it were always meant to accompany the moment when hope turned into reality. 

"Terminal Feeling" delves into the more introspective side of their story. Paired with ethereal, almost ghostly vocals, its haunting techno rhythms give the track an air of tension—an audible reflection of the fear and uncertainty that comes with battling illness. Yet, even in its darker moments, there’s a glimmer of defiance as the duo turns personal adversity into cathartic release. The result is a hypnotic dancefloor anthem brimming with raw, unfiltered energy.

Elsewhere, tracks like "Dawn" see Kasablanca offering new stylistic production choices with frenetic percussion while crooning vocals soar through the mix, steeped in reverb. The blend of breakbeat rhythms and futuristic soundscapes captures a feeling of nostalgia and forward motion all at once, marking another standout moment on the album.

A debut album release is always a milestone in an artist's career, but Higher Resolution (Side A) is a decisive reflection of their growth and evolution as artists and as people thus far. You can listen to the album below and catch Kasablanca on tour now.
