Album artwork for Pulsars e Quasars by Arp

Alexis Georgopoulos aka Arp has always approached recordings with a conceptual bent. Imbued with an expansive sense of music history, having written for i-D, V, ANP Quarterly, BOMB, Fader, and Vice - he has a penchant for doing the unexpected and refusing to take part in the fleeting pop trends of the given day in favor of pursuing a more adventurous trajectory. As the title infers, there is a 'cosmic' quality to 'Pulsars e Quasars' - in a sense, it draws a link to his earlier Cosmic Synth work, albeit reclaiming and redefining it in a Pop songwriting context. Opener 'Suns' sets the tone. And it glows. A bracing current of electricity, it's a slate-cleaner, an improvised transmission capturing the group sound of this temporary ensemble in motion. 'Pulsars e Quasars', the title-track and mini-album's first single, is a lysergic rush, a kaleidoscopic bite of psychedelic Anglophile pop. Settling into his singing voice, his voice finds a comfortable spot between the narcotic resplendence of George Harrison and the delicacy of Broadcast's Trish Keenan. The music, meanwhile, opens swathed in phased guitars before building into a prismatic, melodic fuzzed out mass. A tune that might just become a make-out classic. 'Chromatiques II (Extended Mix)', mixed in collaboration with Jefre Cantu-Ledesma bleaches 'Pulsars' into a haze that you might want to go on forever.12" - Limited edition EP on high quality vinyl with Download.
