Shlohmo: “Places”
[audio:https://alarm-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Shlohmo-Places.mp3|titles=Shlohmo: “Places”]Just 21 years of age, San Francisco-based producer / multi-instrumentalist Shlohmo, a.k.a. Henry Laufer, has a full-length, Bad Vibes, coming out in June. But today he dropped this four-song EP full of ultra-smooth ambient jams to whet your appetite. The Places EP includes the eponymous lead single and three new B-sides:“Forgot I Was Here,” “Things I Lose,” and “Empty Pools.” Posted above, the sample-free “Places” finds Laufer doing it all: singing and playing guitar, bass, and keys.
Laufer is also a founder of Wedidit Collective, a group of like-minded California-based musicians, including Ground is Lava, Juj, Elan, and Dr. Blunt. And he’ll hit the road today, March 15, for the “Magical Properties” tour with Daedelus and Tokimonsta. See all tour dates here.
