about

The somewhat awaited follow up to their sublime ‘A Lizurd’, which sold out of physical copies in less than 24 hours, picks up where their debut left off.

At its core, these 8 tracks, spanning a little under half an hour, take pop music and fuck around with it. Magpie approach to genre, style and production could make for a disastrous mix in the wrong hands, but this collective make it sound effortless.

‘The Roller’ sets the pace, leaving Matt Canham’s vocals wide open over little more than a piano riff and drone, before a sluggish beat kicks in for a track that lands somewhere between the spectral menace of Salem and the expansive intimacy of early Chvrches, leaving the immediate bass riff of ‘Closure’ ready to take over. That head nodding bass groove sits under Abigail Dersiley’s vocals for a tense, almost claustrophobically tight track that could’ve slipped off a Caribou record.

‘Ambrosia’ opens it all up again, with a wonky, dropped pace Loose Joints style groove underpinning Canham’s vocals. The result is a 95bpm Balearic banger aimed at soundtracking winter in Stockwell rather than summer in Ibiza. ‘Human Energy Systems’ then keeps this pace going with a vocal house styled hook dangled tantalisingly over an unrelenting skeletal beat that threatens to break but opts instead to dissolve and rebuild into a rhythmic beat.

We then drop into ‘59’, a crystalline and deeply personal track with production akin to the woozy beats of John Glacier but with the structure of a James Blake track, before dropping into the weightlessness of ‘Beautiful Interludes On The Beach’. We are here introduced to an enormous electronic piano riff that could have been a Darude hook in another life, through a fog like listening to a memory, which then cues up ‘Beautiful Beaches With My Friends’ with an oddly nostalgic feel. This final vocal track takes this and runs it up against an ‘Inspector Norse’ groove and melodic vocals that wouldn’t sound out of place on an Alexis Taylor lead early Hot Chip track, before breaking into noise and introducing the final track, ‘Lizurd Spiritual Recovery’ which takes the whole EP right through the looking glass and into the beyond.

‘B Lizurd’ is the sound of a collective restlessly tearing down and rebuilding to create something familiar but new. It’s a sound completely divorced from hooking onto trends, fashions or A&R buzzwords.

B Lizurd is B Lizurd. Lizurd scuttle on

I haven't heard anything as just completely perfectly formed out of the gate--every decision the right one, what to include but more what to exclude--maybe ever. Don't know who Sault is, but they do not sound like they could be anyone who hasn't paid some dues to get this good. Or signed some Satanic contracts. 100% confidence, and it sounds 110% earned.

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley
