Product Details

Evan Mast and Mike Stroud had spent years building a sound that owed as much to hip-hop production and classic rock guitar as it did to electronic music, and by their fourth record they were deep enough into their own world to get genuinely strange with it. The Werner Herzog fixation fits perfectly for a duo that has always operated at the intersection of the cinematic and the visceral.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2010 release, the fourth album from the New York-based duo. LP4 is the duo's next step forward on the work that they began on LP3. The band describes LP4 as a 'weirder' album than LP3, with a much braver approach to the arrangements. There are more instruments featured on the record than ever before, and for the first time a full string section. The album also features a number of spoken word interludes, one taken from Werner Herzog's film Stroszeck, in which the lead character Bruno S describes the keyboards he owns.
