Lys, Christian L÷ffler's newest album, serves as a sequel and contrast
to Graal, its predecessor. Whereas the latter is the result of a six-
month period spent largely on the road in between live shows, the
former is a studio release in the truest sense, recorded and compiled
in the serenity of L÷ffler's home studio.
While produced within four walls, Lys' grounding comes from what lies
beyond themùGraal, Mⁿritz. This isn't the first time L÷ffler has drawn
on his home surroundings for his art: the woodland refuge formed the
basis for his 2012 album, A Forest. Lys, however, captures something
even more fundamental in nature: light. "I realised that the light is
different in the north of Germany, and this became an overall theme
for the album," L÷ffler explains. "Before I had Mare, and Forest, and
now it's become light," hence the album's title, meaning "light" in
Danish.
What unifies these songs is the process behind them. Waking up early,
L÷ffler would head for a run in the nearby woodlands before settling
in his studio for 8am. He'd cast his mind back to the early morning
and reflect on how the light had changed, marking the passing of time
during the dayùthe passing of seasons in a year, and the constant
change of everything there is. He'd observe how the light would
trickle into his studio, in between the leaves from the trees just
outside, casting shadows on his instruments and paintings, giving
colour to his world. Inspired by the inherent beauty of this process,
he found himself painting these patterns and then communicating his
feelings in his music.
Rather than capturing a specific moment in time or emotion, Lys is a
selection of L÷ffler's favorite productions from the past three years,
compiled into one enchanting and deeply moving listening experience.
The album's sounds can be traced back to 2016, but they really began
to take shape in the wake of a creative breakthrough in 2018. A trip
to Scandinavia awakened L÷ffler to period of creative stagnation and
elucidated new visual and sonic paths to pursue. Graal reflected this
intense initial energy, as ideas rushed in and took the form of
sketches, and so the album's tracks have a rough edge, symbolized by
the monochromatic drawings that accompany them. Lys, in contrast, is
clearer; it's a fleshing-out and colouring in of those initial ideas,
the transforming of sketches into paintings, and rough melodies into
tracks. Integral in the process was L÷ffler's painting of these
earlier drawings, cementing a connection between his visual and
musical work, and bridging the two albums.
Whereas on previous album L÷ffler used his voice as a tool or
instrument, heavily altered and unrecognizable most of the time, for
Lys he puts them front and centre in order to capture his innermost
feelings with actual words rather than only moods. The album also
features the vocals of Menke, a young Swedish singer, songwriter,
multi-instrumentalist, and Mohna, a staple on his recent tours. "She's
part of my musical world and so I wanted to have her on the album,"
L÷ffler explains.
A natural calmness and luminance pervades the album, even on the two
club-ready tracks, "Roth" and "Sun," sketches from Mare but reworked
to fit L÷ffler's vision. "Versailles," and "The End (feat. Josephine
Philip)", two of the three lead singles, capture optimism most
strongly, as if spring has sprung. It's as if It's as if a cycle has
been completed for L÷ffler, an inspiring achievement for the artist
who just a year ago found himself unable to produce. Even "Noah," the
record's darker, heavier track, driven forward by L÷ffler own vocals,
contains the maturity of a fully ripened idea. Along with "Lys" a
final focus track, these singles came together to form the backbone of
an album which shimmers with hope and optimism.
