Deco Child At Juno Download

Review: Alex Lloyd, aka Deco Child drops another intriguing single for Ninja Tune, following up last year's well regarded Pray with S&G. Do check the title track which is a delicately beautiful mix of surging waves of synth pads, languid detuned vocals and beats skillfully low down on the mix. Another new song, "Diamond Drops" accompanies, and again Deco Child shows a canny skill for crafting heart-bursting melodies rendered with some really attention-grabbing production.

Review: South Londoner Alex Lloyd is back with his third single for Ninja Tune, and he's got a new sound to boot! Rumours that his new mournful direction are inspired by running out of skins when there's no 24 hour garage in sight, haven't been confirmed, but it's clear he's in a contemplative mood. "Skinless Pt 1" sees Sigur Ros style vocals wail over some widescreen electronica, the second part of which also incorporates a menacing electro squall and skippy beats. "Heartbeats" displays some heart-wrenching cello work and "An Exit" also achieves the same effect via some gracefully melancholic piano chords.
