CLOUD DRIFTER (CD)

An album seamlessly melding modernity with nostalgia and played with a robotic tightness that remains deeply human.

Indeed, Cloud Drifter will move the body as much as it does the brain. L’Eclair has built an international fanbase thanks to its impressive command of rhythm, dynamics and electro/acoustic alchemy, which has nodded equally to vocal-free titans such as Can and Tortoise, expansive, spacey and blissed-out jams ((2021’s Confusions) and more stripped-down, feel-good and genre-jumping destinations (the 2018 debut Polymood).

Although Cloud Drifter reverberates with heavy, party-starting grooves (Vertigo), electrifying future club anthems (MEMPHIS) and even trap-inspired beats (Nova Umbra), its true revelations come from L’Eclair’s first-ever use of vocals, which are performed in a dizzying variety of styles by such guests as Pink Siifu, Gelli Haha, Phoebe Coco, Girl Named GOLDEN, A Ghost Column and Forest Law.
