#88 LO-FANG

This particular song ('#88') reminds me that we are in the middle of a kind of post-James Blake, Bon Iver or Perfume Genius voice infinity.

Smooth and fluid instrumentalization makes this music sound like folktronics (The Books?), but it goes far away from being labeled or musicaly-defined. And we all agree about this! 

Matthew Hemerlein, the man/voice behind Lo-Fang, is classically trained in violin, cello, bass, piano and guitar, performing all the instruments on his debut album, Blue Film (2014).
Highly detailed, the album has roots in electronic, r'and'b, classical orchestration, and folk music, cast through a pop prism.
