lapalux neues album klingt beinahe zwanghaft inspiriert, sorgfältig und handgemacht und hebt sich damit deutlich von seinem vorgänger ab. lustmore basiert auf dem erlebnis eines vorübergehenden halb-traum halb-wach zustandes, den stuart howard mit seinen infektiösen rhythmen, einwickelnden texten sowie ungewöhnlichen melodien gekonnt inszeniert. die soundpalette für lustmore wurde akribisch ausgewählt und klingt so retro futuristisch, als wolle sie mit bladerunner oder 2001: a space odyssey mithalten. howard meint: whenever i think about the album i think about the bar scene in the shining. theres something about that strange, hallucinatory psychological madness that relates to the music, both in the making of the actual record and the way it sounds.
