Bad Vibes

Los Angeles artist and musician Shlohmo returns with a vinyl repress of two of his defining albums: Bad Vibes and The End. From the first sounds of Henry Laufer’s early work, it was clear he was forging a new path in electronic music - melding hazy textures, emotive melodies, and fractured beats into a sound both intimate and expansive.

Bad Vibes introduced Shlohmo’s lo-fi, slow-motion approach, crafting emotive atmospheres that would influence a generation of West Coast producers. The End, a cinematic journey of chaos and calm, cemented his status as a visionary, blending apocalyptic tension with moments of quiet reflection, made with drum machines, vintage synths, and improvised recording techniques.

These albums showcase Shlohmo at the height of his craft balancing raw emotion with meticulous sound design. Both records have shaped the landscape of modern electronic and lo-fi production, and now, on vinyl, they offer a tactile, immersive experience that captures every nuance of Laufer’s vision.
