Event Details
Growing up in Bulgaria in the late 1990s, brothers Stef and Yavor Lilov were shaped in a myriad of unseen ways by the centuries-old folk music that filtered through their daily lives. It helped mold their creative spirit and inspired them to begin making noise together at a young age, and that unique and intuitive creative alchemy has been a foundation of guitarist/keyboardist Stef and drummer Yavors band LEclair since they formed it in their adopted home of Switzerland a decade ago. After spending the past two years meticulously crafting Cloud Drifter, their fourth album and debut for revered U.S. label Innovative Leisure, LEclair is for the first time now led by the Lilov siblings. The result is 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. We really wanted to finally be able to capture in the studio the feeling that people had listening to us live, says Yavor. Part of that involved really taking the time to polish the music between recording and mixing. Can we make this more impactful? How can we make it more attention-grabbing? Putting in that work and really dissecting the production helped us achieve the sonic result we were looking for. LEclair 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 ((2021s Confusions) and more stripped-down, feel-good and genre-jumping destinations (the 2018 debut Polymood). Two live sessions for KEXP have accumulated nearly 900,000 views combined, beaming LEclair onto the playlists of adventurous listeners around the world. And 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 LEclairs 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. The title track is also the maiden appearance of new LEclair member and singer/keyboardist Ins Mouzoune, whose group Roshni is signed to Stone Pixels, the The Orchard-distributed label co-founded by Julien Fawaz & the Lilovs. That was a special song in the process, with the three of us in the studio, finding the melody together, Yavor recalls. It wasnt like, we send the instrumental, you bring the melody and then well see. It was collective work towards choosing the right ingredients.
