Espers sees LKOY return to a VGM-influenced synth sound through the generative, evocative landscape of titles from "Time Chaser" and "Ghost of the Asteroid". My personal favorites of this near-2 hour adventure are the sparkling, progressive "Flux Frozen" and decisively groovy “The Menu Altar”.
Words from the artist:
"Espers compiles nearly two hours of electronic demos and sketches, divided into a few sections with material dating as far back as 2008. Tracks 1–26 consist of assorted finished songs with the inclusion of limited releases 'Indicator' and 'Rabbit Troop', while the back-half runs through a number of shorter ideas for the sake of collection and interest. Quianna Fick again provides cover artwork following the previous electro release 'Phthalo'."
Recorded after overcoming serious physical issues, joy and und radiate from every note of trumpeter Steph Richard's incredible new LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 23, 2024

Gnarly punk rock from the Philadelphia duo is unhinged in the best way, an in-the-red sonic assault a la Motorhead/Stooges. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 9, 2024
