Laurence Guy

Review: London-based producer Laurence Guy returns to Japanese label Mule Musiq to follow up last year's wonderful "All I See Is Her" EP. More sublime and dreamy mood music of the deeper persuasion featured here, from the skippy/looped-up melancholia of glassy-eyed epic "Why Do Cowboys Never Die In The East?" (13 minutes of pure bliss if we've ever heard one) to quality B side offerings: the UK-style jazzy broken beat of "The One Where I Like The Vocals" and EP highlight "Dissociation In The Car Park At Sainsbury's" - the humorous name covers up an entirely sombre and introspective affair, where woozy and meandering chords support brittle and dusty rhythms - just grasping for a small moment of hope.
