Lawrence Doux - Pollution

Lawrence le Doux returns to Belgium's Vlek label following 2014's Terrestre 12 (VLEK 016EP) with four tracks of playful, hauntologically-minded electronica and techno. The mesmerizing loops and analog gyre of Floor ensnare the listener and neatly segue into Liquide, on which a sublime mist of gentle hiss settles over unworldly synths and a metronomic beat. Pollution deploys a meandering melody to simple yet devastating effect before giving way to scattergun metallic percussion. The organic, bass-led Story is a beat less coda that exemplifies the EP's sense of nostalgia for the future. Eight-pass letter pressed sleeve designed by Dimitri Runkkari. Edition of 300.
