Jeff McIlwain, better known by his stage name Lusine, is back on Ghostly International with his latest EP, Retrace. The Seattle-based Texan producer takes a slight detour from his previous works with a focus on simple yet striking compositions. He makes use of an array of hardware and field recordings to create a fusion of avant-pop-meets-electro, guiding the vocals of Jenn Champion and CIFIKA to create an immediate and engaging sound. Lusine’s restraint pays off in the track ‘Turn Back’, where his house-infused sounds take on a morphing quality, taking the listener on a journey from one place to another.
Lusine joins the ranks of other genre-defying artists on Ghostly International, a label known for its roster of forward-thinking musicians like Gold Panda, Shigeto, and Tycho. His latest EP showcases his versatility, featuring intricacies that are both surprising and satisfying. With Retrace, Lusine proves that sometimes simple is better and that he is a force to be reckoned with in the electronic music scene.
