Quixotic has been producing synth for years starting around 2011, if not earlier. In all of that time he’s been refining his sound – and that wait has paid off.

“Flamingo Drive-In”  features a variety of synth genres, from italo to dreamwave and darksynth with righteous shredding throughout. Every track on this epic debut is perfectly produced as well, polished like a pure beam of neon jutting straight into our souls.

Recently Lazerpunk has even taken to the inter tubes to preach on this fanatically grand debut, singing high praises for Quixotic in general as well.

“…Quixotic is seriously one of the best guys I know, and probably THE best music producer….he is finally releasing his LP, which I was begging for him to do since forever. I remember doing phonecalls with him at 3am, talking about music for hours, and trying to convince him to just do it, let go of his perfectionism, just release it finally, but it was useless. And I’m not surprised or disappointed, as I knew from the start that he will only release this album once it is perfect.”

This compelling LP builds upon the tonal themes of previous releases from Lucy in Disguise but changes the equation just enough to remain fresh and engaging. Still present are the wonderfully warbly synths and unique melodies Lucy in Disguise is known for – but here the voice of each track feels a bit more complex and layered. The trademark funky house feeling has been traded – dialed back just a bit to make room for a larger soundstage – taking this release further into the realm of the ambient genre. The result is an exciting, absorbing mix that feels more like a novel compared to a short story.

Behind the different sound of “Unknown Frequency” you can clearly hear an improvement to the production value – feeling cleaner and more delightfully analog than previous releases. Of course, the previous releases from Lucy in Disguise were already well-produced, so this step-up really takes the music from great to absolutely stellar.

In summation, “Unknown Frequency” feels like a fantastic voyage through the cosmos – with twists and turns to gleaned from multiple listens to each track. Lucy in Disguise has truly given us an fantastic update to his signature sound – an update that changes just enough to remain fresh and new while still satisfying old fans as well. Between the dreamy layered synths and scattered beats lies something awesome waiting to be found.

Top Tracks: “Discovery,” “V.T.W.A. (feat. Laura Claire),” “Unknown Frequency,” and “Interstellar Transmission.”
