Biography

Los Angeles-based experimental producer Al Lover will release his new studio album ‘Cosmic Joke’ on May 27th via Fuzz Club Records. A staple of the global psychedelic scene, Lover has spent nearly a decade fine-tuning a broken, abstracted form of electronica that pools together a tapestry of trip-hop, synthesized krautrock, dub and dark ambient. Utilizing an arsenal of samples, drum machine, analogue synths and live instrumentation, Lover’s is a kaleidoscopic sound that’s J Dilla, DJ Shadow, DJ Muggs and Lee "Scratch" Perry by way of Brian Eno, Kraftwerk Harmonia and Cluster. Central to Lover’s music is a desire to explore the fringes of psychedelic music and the common threads that run through its far-reaching styles, drawing elements from the past and connecting them to the future. Through the years he has released a number of studio albums and beat-tapes, remixed the likes of Osees and Night Beats, been resident DJ for the Levitation and Desert Daze festivals and collaborated with the likes of Goat, Anton Newcombe (The Brian Jonestown Massacre), Caïro Liberation Front and White Fence. Now, Lover returns with his upcoming studio album, ‘Cosmic Joke’ – a series of synthesized philosophical meditations on modern life, in all its tragicomic absurdity.
