Lustmore

"Lustmore suffers from a lack of coherence. Its various feint and detours feel purposeful, but the album buckles under the weight of Howard's ambition, leading to a leading to a disjointed listen. Sultry numbers like "U Never Know" and "Closure" fit into Howard's overall aesthetic, but the mix of straight-ahead singing and woozy ambience feels outdated and timid alongside the more fluid, strange "Sum Body" and "Midnight Peelers"".

"In a world of too-clean, mass appeal electronic music, Lustmore, the second album from Brainfeeder-signed producer Lapalux, is just blurry enough. Lapalux envisions no sound without a little dirt, no beat without an oblique stutter or two built in, and no melody without a twist of muddled effects. He creates restless, late night chillout music for loners, heady, layered sounds for IDM-heads and wistful fantasies for everyone else. His inconstant beats and perpetually shifting instrumental phrases keep the music spontaneous and involved but never disconnected".
