CMU Approved
Approved: LA2019
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 13 July 2011
Given the name Tom Skyrme has chosen for this project, it probably shouldn’t surprise you that his debut EP, ‘Deco’, features cinematic, synth-based music that brings to mind Vangelis’ ‘Blade Runner’ soundtrack. But this is more of a starting point than an all-out influence; Skyrme seems to treat each three minute track as its own epic journey and in doing so has created his own series of vivid microcosms.
So, although there may be a familiar feeling to it, the strength of the writing and production quickly allows the tracks on ‘Deco’ – which is due for release on 15 Aug through Blood And Biscuits (home also to the CMU approved Three Trapped Tigers and Gallops) – to build their own images in your head of films that don’t exist.
You can download the opening track from the EP, ‘Airport Carpark’ from the LA2019 SoundCloud profile now, and watch the slow motion video for ‘Arctic Stars Melt The Clouds’ below. On SoundCloud, you’ll also find a non-EP track there, which takes a step into a faster paced world.
