: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Lapalux blends strains of plush, melancholic R&B/ambient/garage :,
: with post-rock-y, emosh electronica on his 4th album for Flying :
:' LotusÆ Brainfeeder, now in its 10th year of operations. ':
,: :,
: ôAmnioverseöùôa sort of portmanteau of the amniotic sac and the :
:' universe,ö Lapalux explainsùrevolves around notions of ':
,: fluidity; that birth, life, death, and rebirth is a never ending :,
: continuum. He channels these ethereal ideas through a new and :
:' ever-expanding modular synth set-up, injecting human emotion, ':
,: and layering recordings of weather, wind, rain and fire, lending :,
: an elemental, celestial feel to the composition. While 2017Æs :
:' ôRuinismö was about sonic wreckage and deconstruction, with ':
,: ôAmnioverseö, Howard took a different approach, basing each :,
: track around a snippet of spoken word from ôfriends, lovers, and :
:' ex partnersö, and building the music around it. He also ':
,: reconnects with Icelandic vocalist JFDR (J≤frφ≡ur ┴kad≤ttir) who :,
: returns for two tracks on ÆThin AirÆ and æThe Lux QuadrantÆ, as :
:' well as vocalist Lilia on æLimb To LimbÆ, æVoltaic AcidÆ and ':
,: æMomentineÆ. ôFor me the real focus was that the whole record :,
: flowed,ö he says. öI worked on each song sequentially and :
:' wouldnÆt stop working on a session until they fitted together ':
,: and told the story that I wanted to tell.ö :,
: :
:' Initial inspiration for the album came from a photograph of ':
,: James TurrellÆs Twilight Epiphany Skyspace installation in :,
: Texas. ôI looked at it every day for three years whilst making :
:' this record.ö explains Howard, ôPeople are sitting in what ':
,: looks like a waiting room lit in a purple hue, looking up at the :,
: dark night sky through a rectangular hole in the ceiling. The :
:' image has so much depth and means so much to me.... it seems ':
,: like we are all in that waiting room, waiting to be somewhere or :,
: go somewhere. ThatÆs what I tried to encapsulate in this :
:' record.ö ':
,: :,
: Turrell's influence extends to the album cover too, itself an :
:' homage to the artistÆs groundbreaking work with light, shadow ':
,: and perspective. Conceived by Creative Director and photographer :,
: Dan Medhurst and Owen Gildersleeveùan expert in hand-crafted :
:' illustration and set designùthe build stemmed from a vision ':
,: that Howard imagined: ôI initially had an idea of a person, or :,
: group of people, in an impossibly large room set in a fog of :
:' pink looking into a void symbolic of a womb or amniotic sac,ö ':
,: he says. ôWe then ran with the idea of making a structure that :,
: had a deeper perspective, the ever decreasing octagon shape that :
:' suggests a sort of birth canal into the unknown.ö ':
