there is music that is made from the outside looking in. the textures are vibrant and the beats bang, but there is a hollow radiance at the core. it is pantomime. then there is los angeles alfred darlington aka daedelus, who has released a dozen albums in a dozen years straddling countless sub-genres. they are united by his insistence on letting his emotions guide the blueprint. if you have listened to his music, you understand. there is a balance between the direct and the obtuse that cant be articulated in words. this is part of the subtext for drown out, daedelus most elegiac album. his debut for anticon is a heart-on-sleeve meditation devoted to loss, coded language, and the maddening failures of communication. and yet you can still bob your head to it.
the vinyl lp comes with code for download of the full album.

nach unzähligen singles, eps und remixen auf renommierten labels wie ninja tune, warp, stones throw, brainfeeder oder magical properties meldet sich alfred darlington aka daedelus mit seiner ersten single aus dem in kürze erscheinenden brandneuen album >bespoke< zurück. remixe kommen von floating points und tokimonsta. an den vocals ist milosh mit von der partie!

daedelus links up with michael johnson for the kind of happy song/sad vocals mash down which alfred darlington learnt from listening to too much brazilian music. this, however, is not bossa. drawing on bits of italian disco, twisted trance, french house and more than a smattering of early 80s english new romanticism its the kind of glorious, upliftingly sad number for which sweet indiscretions were invented. the epic nature of this song is sure to make this a daedelus anthem
