Description
Every visionary artist has a defining work - their personal magnus opus. For the polymath Andrew Bayer, 'In My Last Life' might be just that. Grammy nominated through his production work with Above & Beyond, the Berklee College of Music graduate co-produced their #3 US album 'Common Ground' and is also a writer and producer on Lo Moon's indie electronica hit 'Loveless'. As a DJ, the New York native has graced the stages of tastemaker electronic festivals such as EDC Vegas, Electric Zoo and Creamfields, and headlined clubs from LA to London - with a forward-thinking sound that will be catered for by forthcoming club mixes of the 'In My Last Life' songs. But it is as an album artist that Andrew Bayer has sculpted his reputation as a true innovator - an artist in the classic sense of the word. It's a journey that began with his 2011 debut LP 'It's Artificial' - described by Mixmag as "am incredible album of sophisticated electronica". Traversing glitch hop, progressive house and electronica, it signalled the arrival of a true talent on Anjunabeats. It's 2013 follow-up, 'If It Were You, We'd Never Leave' took an even bolder creative direction. Ditch the 4/4 beats completely, Andrew instead conjured a 16-track sampladelic odyssey featuring Sufjan Stevens, Ane Brun and Des-ree - earning comparisons to DJ Shadow, Moby and Flying Lotus by XLR8R.Five years in the making, this third LP 'In My Last Life' represents a humanising of the enigmatic producer's sound - comprising of 8 heart-felt and emotional songs penned and delivered by Norwegian singer/songwriter Ane Brun and the talented Alison May respectively. It is also, quite simply, his defining work to date. An artistic statement and a perfectly considered body of work, 'In My Last Life' owes very little to the dancefloor that Andrew is often associated with - instead drawing its inspirations from influences as far and wide as Talk Talk, Aphex Twin, Kate Bush and Atoms Of Peace.Through its 8 songs, the LP plots an enchanting, carefully spun tale of love
