Norfolk, England-based producer Luke Abbott creates hypnotic, kinetic, strangely old-sounding electronic music that borrows from Krautrock legends like <a href="spotify:artist:5mNY0NPszdalbrb4ITO3M8">Cluster</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0tHDVpPzMs1JqKTAuGQkQR">Harmonia</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2CqEOngQOOMstJupNn6Hmf">Neu!</a> as well as contemporaries such as <a href="spotify:artist:5rZVjGkZZI4TnpMHQwrxfG">Nathan Fake</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2VAvhf61GgLYmC6C8anyX1">Boards of Canada</a>. Abbott works in his home studio with vintage equipment, and the resultant music has a warm, engaging feel all its own. The respected <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Output+Recordings%22">Output Recordings</a> released Abbott's first single, 2006’s 'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B', which was the final vinyl release pressed by the label. Later that year, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Trash+Aesthetics%22">Trash Aesthetics</a> issued the Projections single as a limited edition 7". In 2007, Abbott began work on a full-length album, then signed with the local <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Border+Community%22">Border Community</a> imprint -- also home to <a href="spotify:artist:5rZVjGkZZI4TnpMHQwrxfG">Fake</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:15e0X6NuMsVuHi7AZhcfyI">James Holden</a> -- issuing the Tuesday EP the following year. Abbott worked on his album in earnest after releasing 2009’s Whitebox Stereo EP, which found his influences jelling into a cohesive whole. The result, 2010’s Holkham Drones (which was named for a local beach), drew widespread acclaim for its interplay of expansive drones and intricate textures. One of the album’s standout tracks, Trans Forest Alignment, fronted an EP in 2011. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
