Info:

From The Start Of This Debut Release From Amsterdam-based Lapien, One Conceives That The Young Producer Is Conscientious. >anvers<, The French Name For Belgian Port Antwerp, Starts In Unassuming Manner, Synths Swimming, Bass Pondering, A Gentle Cymbal Tapping. Its The Sound Of Thoughtful Admiration, As If Lapien Is Standing In Front Of The Citys Towering Gothic Cathedral, Motionless In The Midst Of A Now Modern Metropolis. But Then, As Loops Spring Uncomfortably Back And An Insistent Beat Thunders Into The Fray, One Realizes That This Is No Time For Admiring Architecture: This Is A Night Drive Through The City – Coarse Orange Streetlamps, Chrome Blue Reflections, Droplet-stained Window Panes. It Is, Also, At An Unusually And Unsettlingly Fast Pace, Dragging Its Deeper House Timbres And Textures Upwards. Conforces Mix Is Anything But Restful: Alarms In The Distance Fall Around Offbeat Rhythms Of Increasingly Diverse Dynamics, Bringing Rain Down On The City At Night. To End, Fred Ps Composition Is Heavy & Uncompromising, Yet It Quivers With Synths Washed In Beautiful, Calming Ambience
