Product Description
A heady mix of lush electronica, world flavours and muted beats, Friends in Far Away Places is the impressive debut album from cinematic groove merchants Laroca (AKA Rob Pollard & Olly Wakeford). Admirers of Bonobo, Quantic, Lemon Jelly, Fragile State, Thievery Corporation and the Catskills label, Laroca’s sound is reassuringly chilled yet funky, symphonic, soulful, layered and exotic; drawing on world influences ranging from Sufi and Afro-Beat to flamenco and Eastern European gypsy.
Published Reviews
‘A beautiful creation which fuses ambient moments of chilled out, down tempo pleasure, whilst not ignoring a backbone of layered electronica. We are taken on a musical journey that liberates from genre and classification.’
