LJM. reveals plans for debut album, Fountainhead
LJM. — the solo project of Acopia's Lachlan McGeehan — has announced his first album, Fountainhead, and shared the new single, "Kingdom".
McGeehan first launched his solo project last month with his single "It's Golden, This Feeling". New single "Kingdom" is described as a moment of spectral beauty, with McGeehan fusing trip-hop, drawing on the likes of Alex G and Chanel Beads.
"'Kingdom' was one of the first demos I wrote for Fountainhead and was originally two separate songs that I combined to make the arrangement more dynamic and interesting," says LJM. "The words came from the opening paragraph of a longer piece of writing I'd been working on. I pulled certain lines and phrases from it and pieced them together to create something that felt new and direct."
As introduced by the two singles, Fountainhead is a collection of songs built on both intricacy and experimentation with a more grounded soundscape than the dream-pop of Acopia.
