LEE OWENS, KELLY - LP8 - CLEAR

FORMAT:
Vinyl record
DESCRIPTION:
Experimental, Techno, Ambient, Modern Classical LP Pressed on Clear Vinyl - Kelly Lee Owens's third album, LP 8, is another masterclass in building ambient layers into alluring noise.

She herself calls the album "an outlier" as it makes a move towards more caustic and abrasive sonic textures and industrial sounds. It was written like many recent albums during lockdown after her tour of 2022 was cancelled. The Welsh singer, producer and songwriter hooked up in the studio with Norwegian avant-noise artist Lasse Marhaug and took cues from both Throbbing Gristle and Enya and the resulting record is intricate and emotive, with stone deco-messages in the final three tunes.

After releasing her sophomore album Inner Song in the midst of the pandemic, Kelly Lee Owens was faced with the sudden realisation that her world tour could no longer go ahead.

Keen to make use of this untapped creative energy, she made the spontaneous decision to go to Oslo instead. There was no overarching plan, it was simply a change of scenery and a chance for some undisturbed studio time. It just so happened that her flight from London was the last before borders were closed once again.

The blank page project was underway. Arriving to snowglobe conditions and sub-zero temperatures, she began spending time in the studio with Lasse Marhaug. An esteemed avant-noise artist, Marhaug envisioned making music that would fall loosely in line with Throbbing Gristle. Kelly, on the other hand, had planned to create something inspired by Enya, an artist who has had an enduring impact on her creative being. They met each other halfway, pairing tough, industrial sounds with ethereal celtic mysticism, and creating music that ebbs and flows between tension and release. One month later, Kelly called her label to tell them she had created something of an outlier, her `eighth album'.
