TORNADO WALLACE – LONELY PLANET VINYL

Description

Release Date: 13th January 2017

The Australian producer’s debut LP and first release on the excellent Running Back label is the accumulation of about four years of work with tracks written in Berlin and Melbourne. Lonely Planet is an ambient late-night 80s themed boogie a funky mood-setter; or as the press release sums it up perfectly: New Age sounds meet new wave melodies Grace Jones runs into the Dire Straits at Compass Point while a Korg Mini Pops and a Roland CR78 make amends for Sly and Robbie’s absence Michael Mann pictures Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness Robert Rauschenberg tries his luck at naturalism and an imagined Wally Badarou echoes through all of it.
