The first single, lostfound, from leland, the forthcoming debut LP by Francis Harris is available now on limited edition vinyl from NYC label Scissor and Thread. leland is a highly personal work for Harris who composed the album as a requiem for his father, for whom it is titled. This first peek at the project features the album version of lostfound, a contemplative, atmospheric pop song cast in a deep house framework. Danish singer Gry turns in an outstanding vocal performance that cuts straight to the emotional core of the material while subtle improvisational trumpet accents by Greg Paulus of No Regular Play propel the narrative. On the flip we are treated to a stellar remix by legendary electronic music composer Matthew Herbert, his first floor-focused House release in quite a few years. Returning to the form that first propelled him to stardom in the ’90s, Herbert’s Let Yourself Go Mix maintains the subtle beauty of the original while upping the ante for the dance floor. He rearranges Gry’s vocal, working a hook around a playful sprinkling of his signature sample edits before unloading entirely with a heavy organ groove that takes the tune into sublime territory. Vintage Herbert.
lostfound is available on limited edition 12″ vinyl only from Scissor and Thread at halcyon the shop.
