From his early releases as Lusine onward, Jeff McIlwain’s electronic
explorations make up one of the more diverse discographies of the past
decade and a half. Effortlessly blurring the lines between techno,
electro-pop and experimental composition, the Texas-raised/Seattle-based
producer’s arrangements are meticulously constructed, but also filled
with emotion and soul. With an introspective turn that’s hinted at in
the record title, Lusine’s fourth album for Ghostly sees McIlwain
diffusing the pop-leanings of 2013’s The Waiting Room with opaque,
brush-stroked melodies washing over these new buoyant productions.
