Lusine: The Waiting Room (Free MP3) 2LP

Lush electro pop from Lusine on Ghostly. While Jeff McIlwain’s previous efforts as Lusine were often abstract and experimental in nature, The Waiting Room explores more accessible and melodic forms of electronica. An impressive range of styles can be heard here – from melodic, synth-driven pop beats (“Panoramic,” “Get The Message,” “Without A Plan”), to deep, lush house grooves (“Lucky,” “On Telegraph”) and potent hybrids of both (“First Call”). Definitely one that works in the headphones as well as the discerning dancefloor. 10 tracks split over 2 LPs with free MP3 download.
