12. thud - Unparallel Symmetries

Buy here: https://pinkman.bandcamp.com/album/electric-vampire

After a slew of stellar releases on Mannequin, Return to Disorder, and Mechatronica, L.F.T. lands on Pinkman with a 6-tracker aimed squarely at the dancefloor. Tough drums and raw basslines are the wire frames around which spectral vocals and percussive quirks breathe and coil. Bridging the gap between Dutch electro heritage and horror-movie soundtracks without sacrificing dancefloor functionality, Electric Vampire presents a synthetic super-highway in which the only thing more pervasive than the bright lights is the solid concrete underfoot. Daring excursions in dance music from an artist stepping out on his own, and relentlessly stalking the night.

Written & produced by L.F.T.
Mastered by Alden Tyrell.
