There are artists who to go beyond their sound, they have to get rid of their original name and create another, but then there are the others, who to go further, they have to meet again, to create a sound whose starting point is not born both the attempt to cross borders and to recover them. This is the case of the mysterious producer ^ L_ (real name Luis Fernando), who after the excellent EP, «THE SKULL», releases his new EP, «Eyes of Old Man».
«Eyes of Old Man» is a serious work, carefully cared for, that lends itself to starting it and not returning to reality until it is finished: the headphones are like the oxygen cylinder that allow you to dive to the bottom of this great rotation sound, of this cosmic orbit, and be there in a state of hypnotic fascination. In this world where speed is desperately sought and attention deficit is so high, such a record will be misunderstood among many people, even dismissed as really important. But you just have to have the patience and the will to stop, to breathe, to sink into it, to hold on there for as long as you can, and admire its interior.
A whole lesson, a way of understanding not only music, but culture, beyond the precariousness that currently prevails, as something expendable, as if music, books or art did not save us. Forget for a moment about this magmatic present, close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by each of the notes that ^ L_ proposes to you.
With this release, ^ L_ continues to maintain the excellence of his latest work. One of the most fascinating artists of 2021.
