“It’s always more fulfilling when something enters your radar through word of mouth. DIY by nature, Abbott is a wizard with noise.” Hayden Thorpe of Wild Beasts (talking to The Guardian)

The slow-burning success of his 2010 debut album Holkham Drones was something of a dream induction into the world of professional music-making for Luke Abbott. The “game changing electronic opus” stood out as “far and away one ofDrowned in Sound’s favourite records of 2010” and landed in Mojo’s ‘Electronica Albums of 2010’ list, amongst wide-spread critical acclaim. It wasn’t just about 2010 though; far beyond its initial release Holkham Drones has continued to win over convert upon convert.

Finding yourself in the position of having to live up to the expectations of such early promise is a rather less enviable scenario, and it is a bold producer that at this juncture chooses to shun the unending cycle of hype and take a step back. This is just what Luke Abbott chose to do before returning, four years later, with his second full length album WysingForest, due out 23 June 2014 via Border Community.

The follow-up to his two EPs for Gold Panda’s label NOTOWN (Object is Navigator and Modern Driveway), Wysing Forestis named after the Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire where, over a six week period in 2012 as their first ever musician-in-residence, Luke recorded what would later become the album. The finished article’s 52 minute duration may have been chopped into 9 track-sized chunks but this is most definitely an album which is greater than the sum of its parts, designed to be listened to in one immersive go: edited and compiled after a period of after-the-act reflection into one rapturous movement.

As much an exploration into texture and tone as anything else, Wysing Forest does see a return of sorts to his electroacoustic roots, Luke’s intuitive arrangements ensure that the full scope and variety of his electronic tastes are in no way at odds. It’s not strictly dance music but rather, as Luke’s always said, “Like the second-cousin of dance music. Once removed. You can dance to it if you want, but you don’t have to.”
