Halfway between the gutter and the stars...It’s been a while since I put the modern equivalent of pen to paper and actually written about some music, so to start off 2012 I bring you the delectable sounds of Lapalux.
Stuart Howard aka Lapalux has been on my radar for a while now after hearing his Many Faces Out Of Focus EP released via our good friends at Pictures Music. Many Faces Out Of Focus showcases Lapalux’s expertise in creating moody, complex electronic music awash with layers of noise and hints of R’n’B. Following this astonishing debut he has also fired out some incredible edits of Gwen Stefani & AlunaGeorge which have been on constant rotation on my headphones recently.
It seems that Lapalux’s sonic rhythm + blues has made enough noise to get noticed across the pond by none other than the mighty Brainfeeder camp with Lapalux releasing his latest EP When You’re Gone via the prolific label on February 7. With the Brainfeeder family behind him it looks like this latest release is going to open up a lot of doors for Mr Howard and introduce a whole new legion of fans to one of the UK’s finest and most innovative producers.
Listen to Gutter Glitter below or you can cop it via Pitchfork for absolutely nothing. For a cheeky taster of his forthcoming release you can take a listen to a sampler of When You're Gone here.
