new singer/songwriter signed to UK´s 4AD label, home of The National, Bon Iver, Daughter, Pixies (back in the day). Lo-Fang is the alter ego of Matthew Hemerlein. His debut album Blue Film was out on Feb in the US, not sure about the UK? Great great album, very modern, it´s an improved version of James Blake imho with more resources and better lyrics. A classically trained musician, plays every instrument, among them, violin, cello, piano, guitar and upright bass. His falsetto is kinda hypnotic... this is the first I heard from him, #88, absolutely mind-blowing song: other jewels from the album this is Look Away and this is When We´re Fire but there´s many many great tracks in the album that are not on YT such as Confusing Happiness, my #1 song right now! I think I already have my fav album of 2014!!

I listened to all three and wasn't sufficiently hooked by any of them. Not keen on the synth. vocals. The songs just dromed on after a while, a tad monotonous.
