INTRODUCING #44 ENDORPHIN AND LYLA
March 15, 2010,
Written by Will Slater
Folk and drum machines mix well. Especially when you leave it up to Loz Keystone (I think he's meant to be Endorphin) and add some cello playing from Ellie Quinn (I guess she's Lyla). Whatever alter-egos or personae these musicians assume, it hardly matters; they make an excellent partnership in creating lulling compositions that would be played around a burning oil drum, in a back alley, in Peckham. I say Peckham because if you are a resident of the area you may be bemused/outraged/delighted to find that they've been vandalizing you're local waste disposal units with some tales:
MP3: Endorphin and Lyla - Drop
This is a very unpretentious, warming kind of folk music. Endorphin and Lyla's near whispering vocals and gentle cello arrangements provide a comfort that gets us used to hostilities and loneliness, just as the bitter season of Winter draws to a close.

Like the lead vocal and strings but not entirely sure about the odd scream-like noises in the background...! :)

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14486-thats-how-we-burn/ 6.5 on Pitchfork. Does that change your point of view on the album? Perhaps now we'll appreciate it regardless. [view article]
