Product Description
While he’s steadfastly refused to get railroaded into pursuing one particularly style – variously dropping tracks influenced by disco, deep house, Italo, electronica, Balearica and synth-pop – there’s always been a melodic breeziness to Philip Lauer’s solo work. This trait is, unsurprisingly, one of the most noticeable things about Borndom, his second full-length. Bright, emotive and expansive, the album’s 13 tracks flit between styles – those mentioned, plus acid house, ambient, deep electro, and even a dash of eyeliner-clad new wave revivalism (see Jasnau hook-up “ESC”) – but hang together thanks to regular use of crystal clear synthesizer melodies and hazy, touchy-feely chords.
