Lorn :: Nothing Else

“Lorn killed it. Mosh pit during his set. 3 people sent to hospital.” – @djdstyles

Did this really happen? Does it really matter? Either way, that’s some pretty fucking epic buzz on the Twittersphere. Between trolling around Low End Theory for the past four years (and seeing what’s capable of happening there [remember Prefuse 73 slaying faces]) and listening to Lorn‘s new album, Nothing Else, off Brainfeeder… I’d believe it. This album is everything bass heavy without being ridiculously cheesy, coughRUSKOcough.

Though Nothing Else is intensely moody with its machine gun percussion, the hauntingly ethereal harmonics accompany the crawling, grimy bass in such a way that intellectually balances each track out. With this album, Lorn has taken a giant step ahead of the sea of “dubstep,” “bass music,” “whateveryouwanttocallit” producers and established a sound all his own that is neither senseless or violent. This album is not a flash-in-the-pan romance, it’s one for the books; it is the beginning of Intellectual Bassism.

Distributed by Alpha Pup, Nothing Else is available now through most digital retailers. Peep all the free album goodies below:
