Luke Abbott - Translate on CD

Description

Translate' Is the first solo artist album in six years from Norfolk synthesizer specialist Luke Abbott: a strikingly direct and assured return to the solo music-making game following a productive Diversion into live improvisation with his experimental jazz trio szun waves. At times dark and ominous, others bright and welcoming, these eleven electronic vignettes form a dramatic and undeniably cinematic body of work which functions as a fitting wide screen soundtrack to our new now. The lumbering rhythms, strident synths and distinctive touchstones of 'translate' Represent a musical reconciliation with the directness of the wave-making Rolling synth-kraut of abbott's forthright debut 'holkham drones'. Newly-reinvigorated and with a new sense of musical purpose, this is Luke abbott's sound fully realised and never so sure of itself.
