about

Review from The Quietus:

The tracks on Warm Alliance With The Outside are built on cascading, phasing loops of sound, while Lucas’ soft, woozy vocals hover over the top in overlapping motifs. It feels as though Lucas has poured his palette of electric guitar melodies, sparse percussion and keyboard sounds into a slowly spinning kaleidoscope, the gentle circular motion gently blurring boundaries to make new hypnotic patterns. It creates a subtle disorientation that means the sweetness of Lucas songs and voice never becomes cloying, instead forming wonderfully surreal shapes.

"Alfar from Afar" video by Jeremy Coleman (jeremymcoleman.com/):

"You find a strange shell on the beach one late night stroll. Holding it up to your ear, a whispering voice reaches you, a web of sound beamed from a galaxy of marbled velvet. The voice guides you, coaxing you, soothing and smoothing the rough wrinkles of your mind. A sweet intro to your warm alliance with the Outside..."

An excellent collaboration yielding melancholic and unsettling looping noise with ethereal vocals, tinged with a bit of 80s horror synth. Highly recommend! cedarshims
