Laser Background - Correct (2016)

If Wonderland were a real place and you were to take a trip down the rabbit hole, you might just hear the sounds of Laser Background’s Correct along your journey. Via ambient synthesizers, nature sounds, modified vocals, and wild production similar a la MGMT’s experimental excursions, Philadelphia-based DIY artist Andy Molholt has created an ideal soundtrack for a dazed adventure in the world through the looking glass.

The above album art by Steph Pez gives a sense of Correct’s sonic environment. Songs like “Tropic Of Cancer” feature a xylophonic sound beneath Moholt’s alluring vocals entwined with a breeze of strange synths. This sweet, fresh feeling carries onto other songs like “Sleep Myth,” which feels like a lullaby grown out of moonbeamed madness with its faint melody altered by electronic production. The gentle “Sleep Myth” is followed by “Imaginary Strings,” a serotonin-infused track with wigged-out vocals over a seductive, hypnotic rhythm. That one quickly transforms into “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” which further ups the electricity.
