Lerosa - Niji Ep

Stick on the A-side of Lerosa's first release on Lisbon's Assemble Music and you'll be transported back to the 90s heyday of Clear, Phono and Environ: HARKONNEN echoes the bubbly arpeggios and frenetic percussion of vintage Morgan Geist, while SONG FOR D has that laid-back Herbert swagger, albeit with a classic Lerosa sound palette. In fact, you can reference-spot all you will, but listen to the A-side and you'll find the happy-sad chords and deft arrangements at play in both ALICE and CARER are 100-proof Lerosa. So put the history books down and drift off, without quite knowing whether it's the lazy afternoon before the party or the hazy morning after, as the sun filters softly through the blinds.
