Fantastic Man
HEARTBREAKER
(SUZANNE KRAFT REMIX)
Lets Play House / lph022
12 Inch
About 18 months ago, Lets Play House released its most significant EP to date: Fantastic Mans *Its Essential*. Since then, the Australian producer -whose real name is Mic Newman - has gone on to release a handful of other records, tour the world, and even remix a song for LPHs co-owner/-founder, Jacques Renault. A followup to the 12 inch that started it all was always in order and it is with great pleasure that we finally present it to you now!
Heartbreaker kicks off with its title track, a spooky, acid-tinged burner that gets the blood flowing. Following that is “Zero,” a lighter and brighter tune that shuffles along with grace and a certain carefree aesthetic that evokes 80s synth pop. On the flip, Fantastic Man returns to the darkness with “Keep Out,” a sinister house cut that slowly, patiently boils, bubbles, and stews over the course of six-and-a-half minutes. The EP concludes with a fidgety, swirling remix of “Keep Out” by Suzanne Kraft, flush with modular synth noodlings and jams.[info from wa]
