on the heels of his critically acclaimed debut full-length >bad vibes<, shlohmo embarks deeper into darker realms on his latest venture self-described as night time backyard noises, >vacation< builds on the aesthetic shlohmo established with mixes for fact and fader, in which broken cassette tapes and warped found sounds melded into melodic beats packed with veiled emotion and latent mystery. from >the way u do< verges on r&b pop, to the enigmatic >wen uuu<, which simultaneously pulls at the heartstrings with a quavering vocal sample while churning forward in a passionate, indisputable groove, and the pastoral >rained the whole time<, which takes cues from the ubiquitous burial, this is a poignant set of originals. a stellar cast of remixers: nicholas jaar, teebs, airhead, salva and groundislava, contribute to take >vacation< to the next level.

2015 repress - from the first glimpses of henry laufers work as shlohmo, it was clear that the la native and visual artist turned self-taught musician was onto something. with an effortless grasp on sound design, laufer combines deceptively simple and emotive melodies, subtle bass drops and swinging slow motion drums. his early work has placed him at the forefront of a new wave of rising talent amongst west coast producers… inspired by the desire to write songs and create a release of full-range instrumentation and vocals all his own, laufer promptly began home-recording >bad vibes<, his proper full-length debut album for the friends of friends label. some might say the songs on >bad vibes< represent the spawn of a new rhythm and blues - one that swings and sways under the backbone of henrys own take on modern electronic music. augmented with delicate slide guitar playing, homemade synth sounds and lilting, tuneful melodies, shlohmos latest output is one that will take you places - specifically the un-paralleled vibes swirling through this young mans head.

a viral force, this la-via-montreal duo delivers a breezy, 4 tracker, primed for summer. typically fof, this ep offeres skewed takes on pop dance moves with an anenon solo sax cover of 1 track, & shlohmo remix of another. 6 tracks, pic sleeve.

drummer for whomadewho, who also toured with lcd soundsystem & hot chip, unleashed house hits as tomboy, remixed gorillaz, franz ferdinand, bloc party. this ep features remixes by jacob korn and shlohmo. juxtaposes space & beauty with darkness & the macabre.

deru aka benjamin wynn is an emmy award winning american composer and music producer. deru’s last record, 1979, dealt with individual human emotions. his new project, torn in two, zooms out and deals with human existence as a whole. it finds feelings of frustration, dissociation and anger, but from a high vantage that affords perspective and allows the project to include acceptance, beauty and tranquility. torn in two is set for release on october 19th via friends of friends (anenon, shlohmo, perera elsewhere). the music lives in evolving landscapes of violence and beauty, with compositions that shape-shift, flutter, and decimate one s sense of time and place. the album is a collection of microtonal pieces where the pitches were derived from acoustic instruments, and processed woodwind and brass recordings. both represented new directions for wynn, and the results are pieces that are more dynamic and full-spectrum than his previous body of work. they explode into walls of distortion and recede into quiet acoustics.
