Reviews and Comments
“a significant departure from his previous work” Resident Advisor “super compelling” Brooklyn Vegan
FaltyDL announced the release of upcoming album ‘A Nurse to My Patience’ last month, alongside first single ‘Four Horses’ feat Julianna Barwick. Best known for his shapeshifting productions, the prolific New England native AKA Drew Lustman has been releasing explorative electronic music for over a decade, and although he’s switched his sound up intuitively over 5 albums, ‘A Nurse to My Patience’ marks the biggest departure yet. Written in between stints of intense writing with Mykki Blanco, it will be the first time he has penned lyrics and sung on a record. Out today, Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard lends his immaculate and instantly recognisable vocals to ‘God Light,’ while Lustman takes centre stage on the more sombre ‘Berlin.’ He had this to say on the double-release:
“’God Light’ is about doing the work to better yourself, however difficult it may be, and ‘Berlin’ is about going on tour, getting high, being Jewish, anxious and transcending your own identity. It’s also about the constant eb and flow of one’s ego. The ability to be your own critic and cheerleader at the same time” FaltyDL AKA Drew Lustman
There was a time in 2017 when Lustman almost quit music. He was frustrated with the stagnant patterns of making dance music, trying to get gigs, and repeating the process. “My last album ‘Heaven Is for Quitters’ was a mountain I had to climb, and when I reached the top, I realised I wasn’t all that happy,” he concedes. “I knew I needed to be honest with myself and what I wanted to present to the world.” Working with Mykki Blanco impacted his life and changed the way he makes music, and stepping away from a genre he felt so comfortable with allowed him to dig a little deeper. “’A Nurse to My Patience’ is momentous to me on a personal level. I am singing, playing instruments, and collaborating with legends and heroes of mine.”
‘A Nurse to My Patience’ is Lustman’s anchor in the turbulent seas of music, with his compass set north to the childhood melodies that still swim in his head. Ambitious and daring, it’s a sonic revelation from an experimental artist at the top of his game.
