Vampyros Lesbos Feat. Caroline Duris (Hidden Track)HAKT Recordings is pleased to internationally co-release Break of Lights, the stunning debut LP from French musician and DJ Harold Bou, aka Abstraxion. If critics are merely a tough crowd, dance music producers rank tougher still, the London-based innovators music has already garnered accolades (and spins) from both including heavy hitters such as Erol Alkan, Simian Mobile Disco, James Holden and Dan Snaith (Caribou/Daphni). Full of melancholic reveries and hybrid explorations, Break of Lights reveals Abstraxion to be a standout producer and true obsessive to his craft. The most important thing for me in this record was finding my own sounds and combinations to build a whole new world, says the producer of this, his first long player. I wanted my album to be coherent and reflect what my project is about so that people could get into that timeless spaceship.Break of Lights, consequently, abounds with texturally rich, rapturous gems and thoughtful meditations on the passage of time. Album opener White Rain, featuring the whispered vocals of Parisian artist Chlo, winds plaintive guitar around modular synths and Abstraxions own ghostly vocalizations. Moon bubbles with blinking synths and blip-and-bleep effects that, in a titular nod, flash celestially. Every Night Im Lying marries tremendous beats with gorgeous vocals from Danish singer Astrid Engberg. Possibly the most hypnotic track here, « Around Me, » warms with sonorous synths that speak like beautifully indecipherable utterances. And Les Histoires, dedicated to the producers father, emerges with half-recalled conversations from childhood, then drifts as if via time through spectral keyboards that filter past like memories.
