KH 026LP

EYE is back. Metamujer marks the third installment on the Knekelhuis label and the label to release this document of another chapter in Laurène Exposito's life. Recorded on various locations ranging from the Swiss mountains to the chalky coasts of Brittany, Metamujer is an eight-track ode to salty love and closeness to nature, a tribute to a modest lifestyle à la Henry David Thoreau. Far from being praise for self-sufficiency, this new LP is deeply influenced by Laurène's environment. You hear Korg MS-10 created synthetic waves ("Sanatorium") and birds ("Luscinia"), but one can also catch her singing in Italian, one of three languages spoken in Switzerland. Still minimalist and yet more aesthetically diverse, her new sounds are on the edge of EBM and synth pop, between classic minimal wave tunes, and rustic ballads on acid.

Lauréne Exposito is back with a follow-up to her well-received debut album from 2016 on Knekelhuis. This new record turned out to be very personal. Life changes and love is strange are central themes in all its shapes, sizes, and colors. Still, hope takes center stage. All tracks have been recorded at Lauréne's home in the French Alps, using analog gear. Take a Cocktail Mexico and immerse yourself into her liberating new trip. This 10" comes with intimate inlay.

EYEREC 005EP
|
"Fresh and new, but rough, layered and head-nodding like classic UK street soul, this is the fifth and for us the best-yet installment in Londoner Eye's excellent, under-the-radar series. Slippery and hard-to-pin-down as usual, but rooted in funk and soul connoisseurship. Two-sided this time -- boozier, dizzier and more spaced-out on the flip, smudged with echo and effects, and scraps of horns and singing. Beautifully hand-decorated sleeves as per."

"Cloaked generation-now Londoner Eye, back around for his most spaced out, kaleidoscopic and epic trip to date, roaming freely and morphing throughout. One-sided, with smart hand painted sleeves."

EYEREC 003EP
|
"The third Eye, as per -- intrepid, ecstatic, off-grid wandering; one-sided, etched discs resplendent in hand-painted sleeves. Epic, this time . . . drenched, dazed, debauched . . . with Sly, Prince and Marvin amongst its guiding stars. Refreshing; very limited. Support from Benji B, Gilles Peterson and NTS."
