LA2019 – Deco EP

LA2019 is London based producer Tom Skyrme, whose new EP, Deco, is due to be released next month on Blood and Biscuits  (who also handle Wakethedeaf favourites Three Trapped Tigers and Tall Ships). They had the following to say about it:

Imagine if you took Sigur Ros’ guitars away, gave them synths and told them to soundtrack Blade Runner

Skyrme has also found himself likened to shoegaze-pop outfit M83, and both comparisons are surprisingly accurate, at least as far as my ears are concerned.

Watch the video for ‘Arctic Stars Melt The Clouds’ above, or listen to some more of Skyrme’s material on his myspace. You can also follow him on facebook or twitter.

Deco is available to preorder from here, in a rather unique format. For £4, you get an unique photo, taken by Mr. Skyrme himself, on an old camera he apparently found while on a holiday, along with a download code for the EP. Nice. Of course, this format is a very limited run, with just 100 copies being produced. I would guess that they will probably shift quite fast.
