Lukid isn’t just the most entertaining man on Twitter – although he has a very strong claim to that title. He’s also a preternaturally unpredictable producer, flitting between genres so expertly that his catalogue could easily be the work of several different artists.
His fourth album, forthcoming on Actress’ Ninja Tune-distributed Werk Discs, is reportedly something of a summation; a record that takes in all of Lukid’s previous aesthetics, from tape-bent psychedelia to abandoned abattoir-esque percussive weight. ‘USSR’, the first track to materialise from Lonely At The Top, sits firmly at the wooze-laden end of that spectrum. Full of nursery rhyme melancholia and distant vocals, it’s pitched somewhere close to Luke Abbott’s excellent recent ‘Modern Driveway’, subsumed in pastel fuzz.
Lukid plays The Waiting Room in Dalston tonight, with BNJMN, Samoyed, and Mr Beatnick. You can download ‘USSR’ in exchange for your email address over here, or stream it below.
