It was followed by a major tour of Australia and a handful of U.S. Their third album, Pacifica, arrived in the summer of 2012, reaching number three on the Australian charts. The pair returned in 2008 with a darker, more refined sound on its follow-up, Apocalypso, which would go on to become the first dance album to win the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Award for Album of the Year. With momentum on their side, the Presets also released Beams in Australia in 2005 in April of 2006, a month after it found favor with electro-freak-loving British fans, Beams lit a path into U.S.

In 2004, the mellower Girl and the Sea, whose title track was featured on the TV show The O.C., was released, and 2005's Down Down Down, the disc that established the Presets as a band worthy of Euro buzz, followed. A first EP, the relatively hard-driving Blowup, featuring guitar work from Silverchair's Daniel Johns, arrived the same year as the duo first hit the Australian stage circuit. The Presets were born as an offshoot of Prop - when Hamilton and Moyes wanted to remix a track with harder electronic edges, they did so under the Presets moniker.īeams In 2003, with a distinctively spiky disco-dipped sound and several years of collaboration boosting them, they released a demo the influential Aussie label Modular wasted no time adding the Presets to its roster. Eventually, they joined the band Prop together, cranking out several albums of experimental instrumental music that won them critical plaudits across Australia. So instead of abandoning their passion for music's lighter side, they bonded over it, composing music at school by day and dancing to acid house by night. Both were there to study classical music, but as they delved into the great composers, neither could forget an extracurricular love of '80s pop: the Smiths, Pet Shop Boys, Björk, New Order. Julian Hamilton (production, keyboards, vocals) and Kimberley Moyes (production, drums, programming) met in the early '90s as students at Sydney's Conservatorium of Music. The Presets are a pair of avant-garde Aussies who, while forging a musical path that wouldn't be unfamiliar to acts like Daft Punk, Nine Inch Nails, and the Faint, don't mind dragging disco along for the ride.
