Feb2-EIBE sketch (2015)

Mattias Östling makes a welcome return to Love Love as Rolando Simmons for new LP 'Animatronics' after recent forays on Analogical Force and Furthur Electronix and nearly 8 years on from his Love Love debut 'World Building'. Hailing from rural Sweden, Östling creates understated but rich and dreamlike productions which have seen him become a familiar name beyond the braindance circles his music first found a home in, playing live at venues in the UK like Fold and Houghton Festival.  
  
As is characteristic of Rolando Simmons' work, a strong sense of narrative runs throughout this LP. 'Animatronics' stylistically plays across the gamut of Electronica, from the lush, playful braindance of 2nd track 'Purple Soap', to the upbeat syncopated rhythms within 'GlobalGroove Dust Club', and the slowly advancing icy ambient techno dirge of closer 'Memory Defrost'. The ephemeral ambient elements laced throughout allude to a sense of comfortable sedation but darker shades no doubt loom beneath. Measured in its operation and warm in its presentation, the album often steers into unknown spaces, moving through a range of tonal shifts, all the while feeling contained within a unified and detailed imaginary world.

I will not dwell upon you
What have I been if not true
Haven't seen you since the spring
Dread cannot do anything

I will not dwell upon you
_    You may evacuate this loyal helicopter
What have I been if not true
_    While they stare at nothing in particular
Haven't seen you since the spring
_    Why haven’t we seen it all before
Dread cannot do anything
_    Where life can exist it always does that’s the law

Just now it seemed
As if I dreamed 
All that I lived through
Don’t let it affect you

I will confide
I can’t describe
How to jump off the treadmill
Now I feel a chill

Just now it seemed
As if I dreamed 
All that I lived through
Don’t let it affect you

I will confide
I can’t describe
How to jump off the treadmill
Now I feel a chill

Refreshing breath of the night
_    They were far older than the catastrophe
At this time it just feels right
_    We should leave because otherwise it’s too risky
Cover your face with your hands
_    Well he climbed the height and saw the lake
Irregular on the sands
_    The cup shaped valley could not be fake

Just now it seemed
As if I dreamed 
All that I lived through
Don’t let it affect you

I will confide
I can’t describe
How to jump off the treadmill
Now I feel a chill

Just now it seemed
As if I dreamed 
All that I lived through
Don’t let it affect you

I will confide
I can’t describe
How to jump off the treadmill
Now I feel a chill

Just now it seemed
As if I dreamed 
All that I lived through
Don’t let it affect you

I will confide
I can’t describe
How to jump off the treadmill
Now I feel a chill

Just now it seemed
As if I dreamed 
All that I lived through
Don’t let it affect you

I will confide
I can’t describe
How to jump off the treadmill
Now I feel a chill

“Don’t Lose Your Mind” is a horror-inspired Drum & Bass trip, built on unstable Reese bass, raw textures, and twisted atmospheres. It’s trippy, weird and experimental
