Lawrence
is an artist from Hamburg who is a member of an unnamed band on the label
Ladomat 2000. He has recorded for the Hamburg based label Dial Records, and
now for Kompakt.
Teaser is a four song 12" with no titles for any of the cuts, 'Teaser' is just what it's name says. For me, There is only one song I need worry about naming, so I will call that song "Teaser". The first song on the A-side is the reason you will love this single. It is as much My Bloody Valentine as Felix Da Housecat as Mum. There is a steady beat, a rollicking looped sound like Kevin Shield's finest hour, a slight female vocal with an intriguing accent, and a dreamy feel you could close your eyes to.
It is quite a song, and quite the standout track on this second Kompakt single by Lawrence, who is NOT the same person that fronted Felt, Denim, and Go Kart Mozart.
Lawrence has also had a cut each on the Kompakt compilations 'Total 2' ("Gilbert") and 'Total 3' ("French Fries").
The Kompakt website says about him: "ONE OF OUR ALLTIME FAVOURITES. TRUTHFUL EMOTIONAL HIGHTECH TECH."
