when falty dl released >love is a liability<, his 2009 debut lp on planet mu, it was notionally tied to dubstep, despite not having that obvious a connection to the sound at the time. a combination of irregular but still funky drums, deep bass, and light musical surfaces, it stood out and was recognised for its distinctiveness - this was a native new yorker interpreting his love of british dance music from a unique angle.
after spending 2010 honing his craft, working on singles for several labels, and remixes for the likes of the xx, mount kimbie and anthony shakir, falty dl, born drew lustman, pulls his skills and experience together for this stunning new lp. falty dls soundworld has evolved in giant steps on >you stand uncertain<, from the very beginning the listener is plunged into his new focus on layered dusty atmospheres. opener >gospel of opal< is also his first work with a vocalist, in this case anneka.
