Quarantine

Laurel Halo's debut album

Veering from claustrophobic sci-fi dioramas to meditative synth drones to nakedly expressive confessionals, Laurel Halo's Hyperdub debut is unified by an underlying perspective and personality that commands attention yet still leaves plenty to the imagination.

Laurel Halo’s early experiments with synth and electronic production yielded some beautiful, understated results. Her first full-length album, for the Hyperdub imprint, foregrounds her voice more squarely on several cuts, while retaining the atmospheric depth and subtle, carefully controlled touch of her earlier efforts.
