Lomond Campbell: LUP (Vinyl)

Scottish multi-talented artificer Lomond Campbell's 'LUP' came about when he was commissioned to build a custom tape-looper for prolific Fife-based independent singer-songwriter King Creosote. The machine itself, 'LUP', takes tape loops that are 601mm long which allows for approximately 10 seconds of audio. The result is a dynamic, minimalist and introspective ambient pleasure. From the glistening and meditative soundscapes of opener 'We Go Slow', 'Swam' and 'Sister', through the pulsating electronics of 'Otherly' and 'Rad Brad Ivy' into the latter part of the record where tracks such as 'WVN028', 'Creosote' and 'Songs Of The Wildbirds' bask in eerie, sinister atmospherics, it imagines industrial urban expanses peppered with distant melodic birdsong. 'LUP' navigates the worlds between music and art, craft and engineering, fantasy and science.
