HAKT Recordings is pleased to internationally co-release
Break of Lights
, the stunning debut LP from French musician and
DJ Harold Boué
aka
Abstraxion
. The London-based innovator's music has already garnered accolades (and spins) from 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.
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
Chloé
, winds plaintive guitar around modular synths and Abstraxion's own ghostly vocalizations. "Moon" bubbles with blinking synths and blip-and-bleep effects that, in a titular nod, flash celestially. "Every Night I'm 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 producer's father, emerges with half-recalled conversations from childhood, then drifts -- as if via time -- through spectral keyboards that filter past like memories. Abstraxion co-manages the label Biologic Records with DJ/producer
DC Salas
. After putting out a series of EPs, he released the singles "Jus Acid" and "Jaipur's Elephant" on Different Records in 2011 and 2012, respectively. He has also released music on Marketing Music. Always a singular character with an ear for sound, he has built a music studio in Marseille with old analog instruments. He spends his there time making electronic music that is as explorative and organic as possible.
