Lard Free

• 180 GRAM LP GATEFOLD EDITION

• 4 1/2 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

Whereas Lard Free's debut skirted with different styles of jazz and progressive rock, I'm Around About Midnight is a much more focused effort. On this record leader Gilbert Artman has gathered a completely different group of people around him, most notably Richard Pinhas from the band Heldon.

With Pinhas's influence, Lard Free's music is much more electronic, with long tracks of synth drones, swoops, and textures and trance-like drum rhythms, traveling into the deep space territory of Heldon and other pioneers of electronic rock.
