Naum Gabo - F. Lux [LP] Vinyl Record

You must surrender. Because if you've followed Naum Gabo over the past 15 years - across various 12-inches, styles, and notable labels - and you're listening to "F. Lux," their first proper album, then you're probably wondering how you wound up here, all the way down, barely able to see through the brain-clogging atmosphere and towering low-end. "F. Lux" is a deep, enthralling listen, alternating between moments of pounding, world-ending techno ("Schinokapsala" and "This 1 "o?") and sharply imagined, surrealist scenes painted with metallic machines ("Aora" and "Haerstag"). There is light to be found in the darkness, but the only way out is through. Naum Gabo are Glasgow's Jonnie Wilkes (also known as one-half of DJ duo Optimo) and James Savage (prolific mastering engineer). F. Lux was written and produced entirely by them at their Glasgow Hottrax Studios and mastered by James Savage. The album's front cover artwork is a painting by cherished Scottish painter, Andrew Cranston. The vinyl was pressed at MPO in France using lacquers cut by Bob Weston in Chicago.
