Enter the kaleidoscopic world of Lone - returning to the Greco-Roman label for his first album in five years: 'Hyperphantasia'. An artist who has been soundtracking dancefloors since the early 2000s, Lone made his production debut in 2008 with 'Lemurian', a hip-hop inspired release before moving into the vibrant future-facing soundscapes we have come to know. His back catalog ranges through house, rave, ambient, and electronica, and on 'Hyperphantasia', he sets himself the challenge to bring all of those influences together for one body of work that he describes 'like an album in my mind'. Referring back to the album title, the definition of 'hyperphantasia' is a condition characterized by exceptionally vivid and detailed mental imagery and for this album he tested himself to see how close he could get the music to sound exactly like what he was hearing in his imagination. On 'Hyperphantasia', Lone deepens his relationship with vocals. Having previously relied on vocal samples or more abstract live vocal treatments, this latest album marks a shift toward richer, more pop-leaning sensibilities. He makes a clear lyrical statement, enlisting a diverse and carefully chosen cast of collaborators: London-based artists and fellow Greco-Roman affiliates Ell Murphy and Lou Hayter, Barcelona's breakthrough singer Bikoko, cult Nottingham rapper Juga-Naut, and Hong Kong-born/London-based musician Merry Lamb Lamb. Together, they contribute to what stands as a career-defining project. The end result is a cinematic experience exploding full of color. You are introduced to the album with an old school rave anthem 'Life Spark' and an interlude welcoming you into this musical world. Like chapters in a novel, the album ebbs and flows beautifully between stripped-back melodies 'Opening A Portal', 'Photographs That Don't Exist', 'Sickly, Sweetly, Summer Movie' and 'Fruit Rots, Water Flows Downstream', bubbling feel-good house 'Affinity (Cloud Four Four Mix)', 'Triton' and ' Wemove', the rap-influenced 'Throw The Ember' and epic future-pop tracks 'Miracle Mile', 'Big World', 'Scattergun' and 'Home'. The album ends with a full circle moment, back to the early hardcore and jungle rave scene, on 'Ascenscion. png'. Tracklisting:A1. Life SparkA2. (mind apple intro)A3.
