What Follows CD

Two years on from his previous full-length, Irishman-in-Stuttgart Marcus Lambkin returns with What Follows, his third album. Recorded in his home studio, but mixed with Juan Maclean in New Hampshire, it's a typically stylish and trippy set that methodically joins the dots between Giorgio Moroder, LCD Soundsystem, Italo-disco, German techno, Balearic deep house, and intense Chicagoan acid. Lambkin has always been adept at making club music both left-of-centre and accessible, as if he secretly pines to make '80s synth-pop but is consistently drawn towards the dancefloor. This certainly explains the quantity and quality of the vocal numbers dotted throughout What Follows.
