galcher lustwerk: information
Francisco Espregueira
Cleveland-raised, New York-based producer and DJ Galcher Lustwerk has operated in his own lane of low-key hip-house music over the past years. Information is his new album, via Ghostly International, rotating in dark and deep waves with Galcher’s vocals adding a mysterious vibe to the innate progressive groove we feel through 12 tracks.
Deep, smooth, psychedelic, equally cut for the club, after-hours, night drives, and headphones. Galcher Lustwerk isn’t as interested in decoding reality as he is playing with it, letting fragmented memories inform his fiction, fusing the exaggeration of rap with the suspended belief of dance music. Stylistically distinct, Galcher’s trademark output lives its pinnacle on Information, leading us to believe that this might be one of the albums of the year. Half-dreamt nightlifes and smudged club dossiers, redacted like faded memories - Information is available on vinyl.
