Since 1994, Jeremy Harris has created a vast and legendary music world as Lazy Magnet, the solo guise he is most known for. The Providence-based multi-instrumentalist has made synth pop, shoegaze, lo-fi rock, power electronics, and is one half of Meager Sunlight with Daryl Seaver.
After a healthy hiatus in 2014, Lazy Magnet was resurrected this year; an explosion of recording projects from all angles and genres, completely untethered, as one would expect from Harris.
'L'Aube' is a massive piece of the Lazy Magnet oeuvre, a curve-ball 44-minute album that came from hours of drum n' bass material, slimmed down to seven sprawling tracks. The beautiful strings on "Les couleurs propres de la vie se foncent" come in like a strong lakefront breeze, one of the many pleasant surprises on the album. This album is loaded with many moments, like thumbing through a friend's photo gallery. The sequencing, sampling, and synth composition all melt together, as if they're made with one machine.
Jeremy put me and my friend Michael (Stumpf) up when we were on tour in Providence, earlier this year- a good dude who seems afraid of nothing in the studio. A constant learner and self-teacher. I'm honored to present the next chapter of Lazy Magnet. 10/11/19

Liner notes:
Drum and Bass made using Renoise and my Yamaha TX802
What a surprising discovery! (through the Cold Tear Discord channel fyi).
Reminds me of early Kit Clayton, which is (you'll have to trust me on that) a very nice thing to say in my world.
Anyway: thank you, i am enjoying these sounds very much! Mono Peninsula / Photophob
Ola Hungerford's sublime vocals float over a heady collection of moody synth laden tracks. Brooding, smokey, a little twisted. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 19, 2013
