Sequenced by Seth Troxler and released on his Slacker 85 label, it represents a pivot in musical direction for the imprint, and a showcase for the songwriting craft Weitzman honed as a member of cult electro duo Footprintz, and Montreal synth-pop projects The Beat Escape and Dawn to Dawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title \u003cem\u003eLight Months Will Fly Over Us\u003c\/em\u003e is derived from a line in a poem by the Russian writer Anna Ahkmatova. Weitzman was immediately struck by its “hopefulness, its mystery… it gives the feeling of being suspended, hanging in a dream-like state”. This interpretation has been translated to the album, rich in memorable songwriting that nonetheless invites the listener to lean in further. Delicately mixed by engineer Pierre Guerineau, known for his work alongside Marie Davidson, each of the eight tracks gently interrogates life’s greater mysteries; fear, love and salvation, each defining and revealing the human soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpener ‘End of The Line’ invites us into an immediately lush space of lounge lizard existentialism, soft brass and piano helping Weitzman introduce “where the journey begins and the fantasy dies”. Across orchestral arrangements arranged by Adam Wilcox, whose sensitive, ambitious compositions are weaved throughout the album, ‘Beyond The Speed of Life’ brings to mind the laments of Scott Walker. Navigating vulnerability via grandeur, Weitzman’s earnest vocals flourish in wide-eyed call-and-response with the object of a transcendent love affair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside collaborator, Richard Lamb, the next chapter of the LP plunges into contrasting machine-driven moods; the wry, bubbling ‘Entertainment Is All I Wanted (And I Found It)’ is imbued with the playfulness and experimentation of 80s electronic pioneers such as Fad Gadget, while the tougher, icier ‘Stranger To Your Kind’ shifts in a more instrumental direction, recalling Weitzman’s dancefloor experience, as well as contemporaries such as Matthew Dear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbum centerpiece and striking first single ‘Running and Returning’ is the first of a suite of three tracks in collaboration with Weitzman’s The Beat Escape and Dawn to Dawn bandmate, Patrick Boivin. Blending lush saxophones and angular guitars with a wistful melodic touch and lyrics, its irresistible art-rock rhythm provides the foundation for one of Weitzman’s most involving vocal performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s followed by an anthem for existential absurdity: ‘Ice Cream Candle’ provides a driving acceptance that “the more and more you learn, the less you understand”; Weitzman submits to this uncertainty with equal grace on ‘No Man’s Land’, as baroque invocations of “words swept through the fields” and meeting “where the water lilies grow” give way to a blistering guitar solo, humbly riding hypnotic percussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the compassionate finale of \u003cem\u003eLight Months Will Fly Over Us\u003c\/em\u003e, Weitzman narrates the experience of ‘Gabrielle’, a woman slipping between rooms between shuttered blinds in the towering city, “where cigarettes and roses fill the air.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs lyrically delicate as it is musically ambitious, \u003cem\u003eLight Months Will Fly Over Us\u003c\/em\u003e is a sublime debut album, enriched with care, love and much-needed enchantment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Slacker 85","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51964572696907,"sku":"R6692-7317","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/HRLLP003-1024x1024.jpg?v=1749132950"},{"product_id":"no-mans-land-the-time-and-space-machine-remixes","title":"No Man's Land (The Time and Space Machine Remixes)","description":"\u003cp\u003eComplimenting his singular debut LP, 2025’s \u003cem\u003eLight Months Will Fly Over Us\u003c\/em\u003e, singer-songwriter and producer Addy Weitzman sees his thoughtful artrock and new wave aesthetic expanded by The Time and Space Machine for a limited three-track 12\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long-running alias of British DJ, archivist and acid pioneer Richard Norris, this trio of remixes from The Time and Space Machine’s central processing unit finds Norris in a jubilant raving mode, his trademark psychedelia contributing to Slacker at its best and baggiest. The initial mix captures Weitzman’s songwriting in full, including his portentous vocal hook – “No man is a prophet in his own land” – a proverb first found in the gospels, blessed with the innovative Norris’s application of hypnotic groove, fat low-end and a ton of percussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B-side sees Norris stripping things back in two directions: the Shango Dub draws focus on the higher vibrations found in the track’s beautifully intertwined percussive and synth elements, while the Riddim Mix reduces the frequencies further still, with a phased, slightly fried drum workout primed to spin heads as the night gets deeper and darker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Slacker 85","offers":[{"title":"12\" - Black","offer_id":56626676138315,"sku":"R9676-3433","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/SLACKER012RV1-Mockup-1024x1024.jpg?v=1772016311"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/addy-weitzman.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
