Love Letters enters the Allergy Season fold for his debut EP on the label, Projecting. The EP presents Love Letters doing the work he knows best: taking us for a ride. This trip begins by throwing us into the saddle at full trot on “With Stallions,” a galloping, panoramic piano banger with a booty. That distinct Love Letters vibe rings clear in the track’s flirty functionality, featuring slinky hats and cheeky claps designed to move the body, clip-clopping atop a tickle of acid and euphoric synths. The EP continues to juice us out with the simultaneously crunchy yet deeply moisturizing “Vazeline,” and the persistently rejuvenating “Villa V” (wherever that is…), where we are greeted at the veranda with a swinging, hyaluronic acid groove, billowing over in lush synth glissandos and hazy, diaphanous pads that disperse to reveal sprawling vistas beyond the eucalyptus steam. The final track “Tantalize” winds down our journey in a thoughtful wash of gorgeous dub, nourishing us yet leaving us wanting more.

Born in the bucolic mountains of Vermont and based in New York City, Love Letters (aka Maxime Robillard) is a producer, DJ, sound artist, and vibe curator extraordinaire, running the experimental ambient event series Hypnotic Spa (co-curated with dj s) and releasing music on labels like Mister Saturday Night and The Bunker NY. Most recently he contributed to Car Culture’s Dead Rock LP on Allergy Season sub-label Lighthead Records. Love Letters truly is a multifaceted mood chauffeur, reaching wide across energies in his pursuit of sounds for all occasions that mobilize bodies and activate minds.

Premiere: Plebeian - Entry Plug

To kick Allergy Season back into gear we've called upon the Mr Dependable of Appalachian Techno, Alex Falk.

Those of you who heard OOF will know the pedigree that Alex brings, but Movefast ups the ante, breaking and reassembling his bass-heavy techno sound in new ways. The opening cut “Movefast” is, a little paradoxically, the only track on the EP which doesn’t start with an immediate ten-ton kick. Once the song gets going it is unstoppable, propelled forward on a breakbeat jetstream to the other side of a distant horizon. "EBE" keeps up the pace, a straight-up head-down thumper without a moment’s relent.

“HG12” breaks the spell, only to introduce a cut-up, printer-jamming rhythm that could step toe-to-toe with any rough ’n ready banger you care to name. Clipped loops recur in “Know”, this time applied to a vaguely ecstatic vocal with a wisp of UKG, and a resonant low-end that carries a trace of Miami’s 808s and sub-shake. Movefast rounds out on a number that brings the action closer to Falk’s Knoxville home. The combination of mechanical repetition and delicately-layered piano and vox on “U Won’t” combine to something beautifully hypnotic: like breaking through the clouds while ringing an endless stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Movefast is as thick as late summer air, as rough-edged as present reality, fearsome yet kinda nice with it – a moment of release as we slide into the third Season of 2020.
