Lala Belu: Vinyl LP Graham Lambkin The album is a collection

The album is a collection of psych-pop oddities and fizzy space-age interpretations of jazz standards that are informed in equal parts by Larry Heard’s breezy dream sceneries

and electronic with pop ambition and hip-hop’s bold and blatant disregard for the rules

The soundtrack won the award for Best Original Score at the Satellite Awards

but the pair’s compatibility shines brightest on the title track

Talking Heads or Holger Czukay - we enjoy these artists in the background with friends or profoundly and alone
