LU features former members of Washington DC's Lorelei, Gloworm, the Saturday People, Whorl, and The Lilys. This, their debut, hits sonically between Neu! and New Order. LU is something new, almost like a musical manifestation of op-art or like early Squarepusher working from a hi-fi, live-band context. Where art and music have always been immiscible, LU adhered to their own aesthetic map and blended a love of the avant garde with commercial tendencies. LU songs are free of 'messages'. They contain no lyrics, only sparse, clean arrangements that outline negative space. The effect is minimal and beautiful music. An exceptional aural pastische of electronic music's past and future. Produced by Trevor hollAnd.
