Every visionary artist has a defining work - their personal magnus opus. For the polymath Andrew Bayer, ‘In My Last Life’ might be just that.

Grammy nominated through his production work with Above & Beyond, the D.C. native co-produced their #3 US album ‘Common Ground’ and is also a writer and producer on Lo Moon’s indie electronica hit ‘Loveless’.

As a DJ, the Anjunabeats star has graced the stages of tastemaker electronic festivals such as EDC Vegas, Electric Zoo and Creamfields, and headlined clubs from LA to London.

But it is as an album artist that Andrew Bayer has sculpted his reputation as a true innovator - an artist in the classic sense of the word.

It’s a journey that began with his 2011 debut LP ‘It’s Artificial’ - described by Mixmag as “an incredible album of sophisticated electronica”. Traversing glitch hop, progressive house and electronica, it signalled the arrival of a true talent on Anjunabeats.

Its 2013 follow-up, ‘If It Were You, We’d Never Leave’ took an even bolder creative direction. Ditching the 4/4 beats completely, Andrew instead conjured a 16-track sampladelic odyssey featuring Sufjan Stevens, Ane Brun and Des-ree - earning comparisons to DJ Shadow, Moby and Flying Lotus by XLR8R.

Five years in the making, this third LP ‘In My Last Life’ represents a humanising of the enigmatic producer’s sound - comprised of 8 heartfelt and emotional songs penned and delivered by Norwegian singer/songwriter Ane Brun and the incredible Alison May respectively. It is also, quite simply, his defining work to date.

An artistic statement and a perfectly considered body of work, ‘In My Last Life’ owes very little to the dancefloor that Andrew is often associated with - instead drawing its inspirations from influences as far and wide as Kate Bush, Atoms For Peace, Aphex Twin and Talk Talk.

Through its 8 songs, the LP plots an enchanting, carefully spun tale of love and loss - explored through the narrative prisms of reincarnation and immortality.

Alison May swims in the overwhelming sensations of love in the ethereal electronic washes of ‘Tidal Wave’, looks at love through reincarnation on the dreamy ‘In My Last Life’ and whispers of stalking ex-lovers from beyond the grave on the shuffling, Timbaland-esque beats of ‘Immortal Lover’.

Ane Brun’s three turns, meanwhile, are as diverse as they are majestic. Nodding back to classics 80s ballads from Kate Bush and Sade, ’Love You More’ is a slow-building indie-pop beauty loaded with joy and musicality. Somewhere between Aphex Twin and The XX, ’Hold On To You’ is a string-laden, bittersweet ode to the recently departed, whilst the psychedelic synth-pop of ’Your Eyes’ is an energetic gem.

And then there’s closer ‘End of All Things’, an anthemic, arm-waving electronica excursion, where Alison May sings in ode to a recently lost love - capturing all the celebration, uncertainty and emotion at the end of a beautiful road. A perfect closer, but ‘In My Last Life’ is also an album that needs to be taken in its entirety.

Taking as one cohesive and beautifully constructed whole, the 8-track LP represents an journey that will surprise, stun and overwhelm those that submit to its charms - a truly personal masterpiece with all the musicality and detail that Andrew’s fans know and love him for.

Release Date: 14th August 2018

Following on from the Elton John-endorsed lead single ‘Immortal Lover’ and follow-up ‘In Your Eyes’ (feat. Ane Brun), which saw the producer break out of his shell to deliver a more eclectic sound, Andrew Bayer now continues the support of his forthcoming album ‘In My Last Life’ with the unveiling of his latest single ‘End Of All Things’, set to impact on the 14th August. With a ten-minute running time, ‘End Of All Things’ is an expansive and atmospheric release that indulges his love for ethereal soundscapes, and delivers one of the more ambitious cuts on his new release. Taking his cues from the likes of M83 and Porter Robinson, this new single focuses more on the broader and bolder side of electronica, suiting the producer’s more progressive direction.

This time teaming up with vocalist and songwriter Alison May, another of this record’s regular collaborators who was also featured on his last LP ‘If It Were You, We’d Never Leave’, he has created a sound that swells into a wonderfully warm expression of electronic grandeur, before the second half takes on an almost Sigur Ros-like sound, building into a euphoric crescendo that manages to fully capture the wonder of his musical direction.

"As we all know, there’s endless uncertainty around what happens when we pass away,” explains Alison on the song’s meaning. “End Of All Things is about that uncertainty. The question is raised from the point of view of someone who is burying an important individual (lover, brother, friend). At first, this experience may feel like the end of all things –burying that person, or dying yourself. But, it’s really just another stop for “always”. Ultimately, this reaches the conclusion that there is life before and after the blip that is one’s time on earth, and takes solace in being part of a “great plan”. I think there is comfort in knowing that our individual lives are part of a network and we get to participate in something much bigger than ourselves."

Featuring on no less than five singles from his new album, May’s voice has this
magical and otherworldly quality that suits the producer’s broad and grand style down to a tee.  ‘End Of All Things’ is set to arrive on the 14th August, while his highly anticipated new album ‘In My Last Life’ will be available from the 24th August via Anjunabeats.

So you gotta wake up
So you gotta wake up
So you gotta wake up
Feels like they come and go
You know I'm here to stay
Lifetime to live but I just wanna push away
What if you said the words you really meant to say

That's wishful thinking
So you gotta wake up
Acting like it's all new when you know it
Couldn't give a another fuck about it
You stole my soul so long
So you gotta wake up
So you gotta wake up
So you gotta wake up
That's wishful thinking
So you gotta wake up
Acting like it's all new when you know it
Couldn't give a another fuck about it
You stole my soul so long
When it's dark and I'm alone and drift away
I reminisce because you wanna fuck and play
You left a mark alone without a purpose
When I needed silence
All I heard was sirens
Stressin’ about the feelings that you left alone
Like it's all that you wanted
But you'll think of something soon enough
Quit acting like it's over
So you gotta wake up
Acting like it's all new when you know it
Couldn't give a another fuck about it
You stole my soul so long
So you gotta wake
up
So you gotta wake up
So you gotta wake up
That's wishful thinking
So you gotta wake up
Acting like it's all new when you know it
Couldn't give a another fuck about it
You stole my soul so long
So you gotta wake up
So you gotta wake
