Luomo is back with his latest release with some help from his friends. This particular track features Sascha Ring from Apparat, whom I love and reminds me of the soft vocals you typically hear on a Junior Boys track.
Luomo – Love You All (ft. Sascha Ring from Apparat)
The following was taken from here:
LUOMO – CONVIVIAL (HUUME 16)
Sasu Ripatti is the producer and head writer behind the project Luomo, his musical outfit that has redrawn the very boundaries of what “house music” can achieve. “Convivial”; is Ripatti’s fourth, album as Luomo. For his relief though, this time he doesn’t have to arrive alone. In addition to a long-time collaborator Johanna Iivanainen (From Helsinki, Finland), this time he lands with a semiunderground star cast; Cassy (Panorama Bar), Sascha Ring (Apparat), Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Robert Owens, Sue-C and one anonymous singer who hides behind a name Chubbs.
The network of artists and singers he worked with for the album bring about strong song characteristics and wide range of electronic music to experience. Cassy is participating on a dancefloor-friendly song “Have You Ever”, while Sascha Ring makes a touching appearance singing a semi-ballad “Love You All”. Jake Shears does add a piece of glamour in “If I Can’t” while a long-time friend from California, Sue-C does great lead vocals in “Nothing Goes Away”, a song probably everyone can relate to. Classic house vocalist Robert Owens gets treated and processed in soulful “Robert’s Reason”, while Johanna Iivanainen both brings back and takes further than before what vocals can do in experimental pop music. As always in his productions the vocals rarely speak out on narrow or specific issues, preferring sweeping hyperbolic statements all about seasonless emotions and about transition and exchange, because that is what people have in their lives, and it is his wish to reflect on that in his music.
“Convivial” is out on Huume Recordings October 24th.
