UK-based DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Lawrence Hart will release his long-awaited debut album Come In Out of the Rain on 4th April, preceded by upbeat single ‘Love U Bring’ on Domino’s Double Six imprint. Previous singles have won tastemaker support inc. Sian Eleri, Lauren Laverne, Danny Howard, Jess Iszatt, Jaguar, Jack Saunders, Rinse, DMY, Mixmag, plus heavy playlist uptake inc. a Spotify Altar cover and Amazon Signals slots.
Hart’s hard science skills express emotion-evoking euphoric vibes both dancefloor-ready and perfect for immersive listening:‘A big thing for me on this record is balancing the more mechanical and technical side of my music with the heart and euphoria.’
The 12-track album Come In Out Of The Rainis an ‘emotional garage record, euphoric and therapeutic,’ journeying through cinematic uplifting synths and moments of fragility enriched with obscure vocal samples. Available on Exclusive Domino Mart LP with a limited signed/hand numbered artwork poster, Standard black LP, CD and download, it includes seven new tracks plus previous Double Six singles ‘NoMoreLuv4U’, ‘Hear Ur Heartbeat’, ‘Just Belong’ and ‘Closer To You’ as well as ‘Love U Bring’.
Next single ‘Love U Bring’: true to Hart’s mission, an upbeat track alive with nervy energy, a skittish, breaksy beat and a chopped, pitch-shifted vocal sample, weighted by a growly bass and counterpointed by serene melodic synth chords.
Tech wizard Hart, with science DNA from his renowned computer pioneer grandfather, Geoff Tootill, trained as a classical musician as a child. At fifteen, he auditioned at some of New York’s most prestigious music schools, going on to study jazz trumpet at SUNY Purchase with famous exponents, playing at some of New York’s most esteemed jazz clubs alongside greats like Bob Mover (a previous collaborator of Charlie Mingus and Chet Baker). Soon Hart discovered electronic music and clubbing and inspiration hit.
He developed his production skills while working with fellow Double Six/Domino artist George FitzGerald who he has a long-standing music relationship with. Hart has also released solo singles, EPs and remixes on Hotflush, Attack Decay Sweet Release, LG105, & his own SSEM label.
‘For a long time, I’d worked on music because I didn’t know how to be in the world. This album is about acceptance and opening myself up’, says Hart. ‘I started the Lawrence Hart moniker as I wanted to make music to bring people together on the dancefloor and build that sense of community and togetherness.’
To celebrate the album release, Lawrence Hart will play live at Corsica Studios on 23rd April alongside yet to be announced friends/talent. Tickets available here: https://link.dice.fm/N97f1e4573f9
