Leon – Philosophy (2018)

  • Mood music

Comment: this bunch of 5 compositions seems to be suitable for listening to it on a hot summer day. The Mancunian Lofi.Leon (he describes himself in that way at Soundcloud) provides lazy, sun-stricken yet yawning trumpet whiffs being intertwined with dreamy female vowels and enchanting electric piano chords. At times the piano chords are traded for slightly warped string-based chords and as usual being supported by skiddy rhythmic patterns (if you wish it could be called lo-fi by their nature). There are up some funny titles like My Friend Went To South And Came Back With A Beard. Could you imagine such a sort of musical style with such a title? Thereafter you have listened to it for many times you will do it. Frequently it reminds me of another excellent artist called Mentz (who similarly likes to compose short-running tracks). The marvellous outing is a part of the discography of Dusted Wax Kingdom.
