Maiden – Lyka 03
Laurine Frost protagoniza la tercera referencia del sello Lyka con cinco temarracos originales recién salidos del horno.
Budapest boy (well, man) Laurine Frost returns to his Lyka label with album number three, Maiden, which lands four years after its predecessor, the admirable and ear catching Nimfa. In keeping with his passion for what he calls «hybrid sounds», Maiden’s six tracks thrillingly mitch and match elements of smoky, Cinematic Orchestra style soundtrack jazz, off-kilter electronica, trip-hop and abstract experimentalism. The beats are particularly inspired, with Frost cutting up and rearranging what sound like live jazz drums. Atop this you’ll find heady horns, suspenseful xylophone motifs, droning electronic textures and trippy sounds aplenty. It’s a unique and expertly realised sound world.
