lapalux veršffentlicht ende juni sein drittes album, ruinism, auf flying lotus label brainfeeder. sein letztes album, lustmore, war z.t. inspiriert vom konzept der hypnagogie, dem auch wachdenken genannten bewusstseinszustand, der beim einschlafen und/oder erwachen auftreten kann. auf ruinism setzt der britische produzent nun seine entdeckungsreise fort und erforscht diesmal den sogar ominšseren schwebezustand zwischen leben und tod. in diesem bereich, wo sich das endliche und das unendliche vermischen, ist lapalux zu hause auf ruinism mehr als zuvor. auf seinem neuen album benutzt er zum ersten mal in seiner karriere ausschlie§lich hardware und echte instrumente, er hat synthesizer und drum-versatzstŸcke aufgenommen und erneut gesampled, gepitcht, verbogen und miteinander verschmolzen, until it was ruined, bevor er die všllig entstellten samples aus dem mittlerweile entstandenen trŸmmerhaufen barg und erneut versuchte, diese in etwas kohŠrentes zu verwandeln, wie er selbst beschreibt. mit marielle tepper als kreativdirektorin auf ruinism, wird die lp als hervorragende und streng limitierte deluxe-doppelvinyl-ausgabe erscheinen, die in zusammenarbeit mit dem pariser atelier impremerie du marais entstand.

after only 3 short years, my second album o u r w a l l s is out. it comes clad in vinyl, polycarbonate, bits and bytes and iÕm very happy and relieved to finally let go of this one. the cores of its 10/11 (cd/2lp) tracks were developed on a loop pedal at home. lyrics spun here and there. almost all of them are trying to extract levels of meaning from an everchanging knot of emotions. they take their time - ranging between t h r e e m i n u t e s f o u r t y to t h i r t e e n m i n u t e s f i f t y s e v e n - to clinically isolate, examine and name the elementary building blocks constituting the knot. o u r w a l l s is about the ups and downs of your everyday-mercilessly-hopeless love relationship, about staying mild when things get rough, fabulous metaphors, childish selfdefence mechanisms, the burning space in b e t w e e n words and o u r very personal w a l l s that have so far always kept us safe

the third longplayer from peverelist, this time released on his own livity sound imprint.
