Today Welsh producer Lewis Roberts aka Koreless releases the lead single from his debut album. ‘White Picket Fence’ has a spine-tingling anthemic quality to it–with a symphonic melody and a faceless vocal hook that hits like a ton of bricks.
An evidence of Robert’s mass refinement, there are subtle occurrences throughout which he refers to as “ruptures”, where the “bottom falls out of the track and it suddenly collapses into nothingness, like a plane taking off then bursting into the clouds”.
Koreless’ much-anticipated debut album ‘Agor’ is due for release this Friday 9 July via Young, an album over five years in the making.
There is an idea of hidden depths suggested by the title of Koreless’ debut album. ‘Agor’ is the Welsh word for open and it’s an apt name for a recording which exists at sensory thresholds, helping guide the listener from one realm to another less visited. It straddles various worlds of dance, ambient and contemporary classical while not sounding like an example of any of them.
