Local Action presents the debut album by
Erskine Lynas
,
Lease Of Youth
. Although Erskine -- aka
Thomas Emslie
-- is a new name, he's a long-time ally of Local Action who was known for his acclaimed electronic work as
T_A_M
. Written and recorded in Aberdeen throughout Summer '16,
Lease Of Youth
is heavily inspired by the naive melodic synth-pop of bands like
Tears For Fears
,
The Blue Nile
,
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
, and
Magnetic Fields
, smeared against the grey skies and coastline of Emslie's hometown with an approach to after-effects and sampling that betrays his relationship with modern electronic music. Although the album's lyrics are downcast, they're paired against bright sounds in a bittersweet way. All vocals, production, and instrumentation are handled by Emslie himself, with a knack for hooks and ear-worms far beyond his years.
