Handcourage

fatly dl has already carved out a name as one of the most exciting talents to emerge in electronic music of late, through albums on planet mu, supporting radiohead (and topping their office playlist) as well as remixing the xx, scuba and mount kimbie - to name but a few. 'hardcourage' is the nyc-based lustman's masterpiece: an electronic opus inspired by love and crafted with renewed intent and dedication. lustman often makes mention of attempting to channel the music in his head, to allow it to pour forth direct from his subconscious. in 'hardcourage' it seems he's succeeded. the music here feels incredibly natural, the songs taking the most perfect of shapes, their emotive rise and swell both subtle and immensely powerful.
