Now available in all good digital stores! https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/car... Lydian Label are exited to bring you Laszlo's new fun and colourful album Cartoon Hero!
Laszlo is back with a new full-length album, and it's
perhaps his boldest and most adventurous offering yet.
Cartoon Hero is a fun, colourful journey into the world of
80's nostalgia. Drawing on childhood musical memories
from the VHS era, when cartoons such as Thundercats,
Transformers and He-Man ruled the world alongside
movie classics such as Rocky and Karate Kid, Laszlo has
fused the essence of this unmistakable sound with his
own unique blend of melodic EDM production.
The 3rd album from the London-based composer and
producer has a strong narrative, taking the listener on an
adventure filled with wacky twists and turns. There are
times when you can almost hear the 80's voiceover
narrating the story, with reoccurring musical themes, epic
battles and training montages aplenty. From
Vangelis-esque dreamscapes such as Star Gazing, to
dubstep-laced epics such as Battle Stations, Cartoon
Hero will certainly keep the kids entertained before dinner
is ready.
The influences for the album range from Vince Dicola to
Vangelis, Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, as well as
lesser known greats from the world of library music and
TV such as Keith Mansfield. The sparkle of classic FM
synthesis plays a central role in the sound, alongside the
warm hiss of VHS analogue tape noise.
Cartoon Hero is very much part of the continuing musical
journey for Laszlo as an artist, and has been an exercise
in channeling positivity and a carefree sense of fun into
music. We know it wont be for everybody. Maybe you
guys aren't ready for it yet, but your kids are gonna love
it... :)
Laszlo is part of the live instrumental band: the Lydian
Collective, who are currently performing music from all
Laszlo releases and other Lydian Label projects in major
venues in the UK and Europe.
