It's rad watching artists evolve.

The last album from Melburnian John Lee's one-man-band Mountains in the Sky, CELESTIAL SON, was an exuberant mix of Caribou-style orchestral psych electronica and DJ Shadow-esque trip hop soundtracks.

From the brute force of opener 'Synaptic Cleft' alone, you can tell ELECTRON SUITE is going to be a more guttural - less pastoral - ride. This album is another brilliant showcase of Lee's ability to arrange elaborate instrumental soundscapes, but it's packed with more dynamic pow.

The songs build and develop, driven forward by heavy Can grooves amidst layers of indie guitar noise. It's as jubilant as Dan Deacon and as rocked out as Trans Am. Righteous! Can't wait to see what Mr. Lee does next...
