Larionov – I Want To Believe

Strap in for this rugged electro exploration from Russian producer Larionov who has written it after sacking the heavens and distilling what he’s seen into six cuts alive with dazzling melody. They are as bright and shiny as any distant star in the darkest of nights right from the off – ‘Morning Lite’ opens up with a sense of longing for a better future then ‘Across The Sky’ has withering sci-fi motifs and a textured baseline powering along the drums. Elsewhere on this most intergalactic trip are the more punch and urgent drum patterns of ‘Strange Lights’ and the neck-snapping hits of ‘Space & Time’ which has a fantastically squelchy bassline.
