Lawrence Lui is a producer out of New York who just released his debut EP Retroism. It’s a wonderous, genre-defying release that combines lo-tech house with some classic avant-rock of greats such as Suicide, Spacemen 3 and Brian Eno.
Take his sublime effort “Requiem For Vega,” a tribute to the late great Alan Vega of Suicide, who passed last year. The track opens with a wistful electronic hum that could’ve been included in Blade Runner 2049 and then soon opens up to a flood of lively atmosphere and instrumentals that act like a true beam of light and hope. It’s a rather beautiful listen that offers many surprises along the way.
It can be found streaming below and the whole EP is available to hear and buy over at Lui’s bandcamp.
