Los Angeles’ WEDIDIT collective has done it again.
The inspiring group of close friends does not fail in successfully delivering a dynamic crossover of electronic and ambient music. The idiosyncratic clique represents a different side of electronic music: a deeper, darker, and even more sensual side. Something rare to find and admittedly, easy to stay interested in.
Co-founder and producer Henry Laufer, better known as Shlohmo, released his sophomore album Dark Red earlier this month. A glitchy, yet soothing album that I’ve been waiting for, ever since he teased his fan base with rich in percussion track “Beams,” a few month ago.
Between the distortion of feedback, echoing guitar progressions and alarming synths, the man has delivered a cryptic album that only moves his music forward. It is pleasing to think that he is currently touring in a live band set, of which we can anticipate a dark atmosphere with minimal lighting and resonating drums. We’re ready for you, S.
Listen to Dark Red via Press Play.
Catch Shlohmo in Los Angeles at The Fonda Theater on May 7. Tickets.
Favorite tracks: “Buried,” “Beams,” and “Slow Descent.”
