Until Then, Goodbye

Hamburg based Dial and Smallville owner Peter Kersten aka Lawrence is one of the most valued and highly regarded artist’s in the modern dance music community with a long history of releases on Nova Mute, Kompakt, Ladomat, Spectral, Ghostly, Mule and of course his own imprint Dial.
“Until Then, Goodbye” kicks off with a special ‘intro’ version of a fan favourite Friday’s Child followed by the introspective ambient piece Sunrise. Grey Light remarks the electronic style of Durutti Column while Jill is purely sweet slow house music.
The album shifts towards more acoustic driven material with songs such as Father Umbrillo and Toderhausen Blues…don’t fret purists as Lawrence hits back with his classic signature sounds with the likes of In Your Eyes, Sleep and Suffer.
Lawrence leaves us with a whisper in the most beautiful of ways. The atmospheric ambient tune Don’t Follow Me, the ebb and flow of the piano driven A New Day and the title track leave the listener in a state of bliss.
Dare we say, this is one of Lawrence’s most daring and diverse albums to date…not necessarily a ‘concept’ album per say but definitely showcases his gift for provoking a remarkably diverse range of musical influences and styles.
