It marks two major changes, with both a new label and new approach – featuring vocalists for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis deeply textural and ethereal artwork is situated high above the clouds, amidst the heavens, occupying a stratospheric state where swathes of synthesized vapour and azure rays sound like a literal breath of fresh air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA varied selection of music influenced the record, but two main influences were Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine. “I wanted to approach a range of different styles, but attack them from their angle in a way, so for example on \u003ci\u003eInlove2\u003c\/i\u003e I tried to imagine what a Balearic \/ acid house tune might sound like if it were produced by Kevin Shields”, comments Lone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the above, the LP exists somewhere between trip hop on Mo' Wax, 90s Warp, intelligent drum and bass and ambient house. There are heavier forays too, like \u003ci\u003eMouth Of God\u003c\/i\u003e, where darker clouds emerge, but are pierced like acid lightning with fierce, tearing tech-step bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough still firmly rooted in club culture – here Lone shows a definite leaning towards a song-based sound, with several tracks edging towards the same crossover space as the nineties hits which also inspired him. This is especially evident on the bright, spacious brilliance of \u003ci\u003eHidden By Horizons\u003c\/i\u003e, where vocals and synths swirl around one another, with crisp breakbeats and reggae rolls pushing purposefully through the ether. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite initially seeming almost entirely sunny of disposition, upon deeper immersion there’s lot more beneath the album’s surface, both in its deep pools of immiscible layered elements, and also thematically. When recording Cutler kept in mind a loose narrative based on birth, death, and our existence in-between.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greco Roman","offers":[{"title":"Orange LPx2 | Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":50383119647051,"sku":"1127269","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange | LP | x2","offer_id":50383120007499,"sku":"1136780","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50383119876427,"sku":"1127394","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50383120138571,"sku":"1127597","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d35b3cc0-1a85-4154-86d1-a9a0524a985d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726263615"},{"product_id":"to-dream-is-to-forget","title":"To Dream Is To Forget","description":"\u003cp\u003eHidden Orchestra is an imagined orchestra created by multi-instrumentalist composer\/producer Joe Acheson.

His back catalogue ranges through house, rave, ambient and electronica, and on \u003cem\u003eHyperphantasia\u003c\/em\u003e, Cutler sets himself the challenge to bring all of those influences together for one body of work that he describes ‘like an album in my mind’. Referring back to the album title, the definition of hyperphantasia is a condition characterized by exceptionally vivid and detailed mental imagery and for this album he tested himself to see how close he could get the music to sound exactly like what he was hearing in his imagination.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cem\u003eHyperphantasia\u003c\/em\u003e, Lone deepens his relationship with vocals. Having previously relied on vocal samples or more abstract live vocal treatments, this latest album marks a shift toward richer, more pop-leaning sensibilities. Cutler makes a clear lyrical statement, enlisting a diverse and carefully chosen cast of collaborators: London-based artists and fellow Greco-Roman affiliates Ell Murphy and Lou Hayter, Barcelona’s breakthrough singer Bikôkô, cult Nottingham rapper Juga-Naut, and Hong Kong-born, London-based musician Merry Lamb Lamb. Together, they contribute to what stands as a career-defining project.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end result is a cinematic experience exploding full of colour. You are introduced to the album with an old school rave anthem ‘Life Spark’ and an interlude welcoming you into this musical world. Like chapters in a novel, the album ebbs and flows beautifully between stripped-back melodies ‘Opening A Portal’, ‘Photographs That Don’t Exist’, ‘Sickly, Sweetly, Summer Movie’ and ‘Fruit Rots, Water Floats Downstream’, bubbling feel-good house ‘Affinity (Cloud Four Four Mix)’, ‘Triton’ and ‘ Wemove’, the rap-influenced ‘Throw The Ember’ and epic future-pop tracks ‘Miracle Mile’, ‘Big World’, ‘Scattergun’ and ‘Home’. The album ends with a full circle moment,  back to the early hardcore and jungle rave scene, on ‘Ascenscion.png’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greco Roman","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":56409002443083,"sku":"R3578-4830","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_83ba139a-b738-4090-9c51-8e3155ac6481.jpg?v=1769607277"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/lone.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
