London Elektricity - Building Better Worlds '2019

Tracks list

Following six studio albums of funk-driven loungecore, Hospital Records’
head honcho London Elektricity embarks on the boldest musical adventure of his
30-year career with his seventh long-player ‘Building Better
Worlds’.

It began in a Forest Hill cafe in 2017 where London Elektricity adoringly
browsed through a series of Benjamin Beech’s photography of perfectly
untouched, derelict buildings and towns in Japan, Taiwan and China. “Many
of the images show what has been, what could have been and what will be. The
duality of beauty and melancholia within appealed to me immensely.” Each
track was married to a photo, to join the sights to sounds from each of his
tales of ‘Building Better Worlds.’

Leading the voyage is the orchestral masterpiece ‘Final View From The
Rooftops’, that’s been 13 years in the making and is the
“most unusual piece of D+B” [he’s] ever made”,
featuring the incredible operatic talent of Cydnei B. ‘Build A Better
World’ is a smooth drum & bass sonnet with the vocals of Hospital family
favourite Emer Dineen. “The beauty of this song lies in its simplicity,
but also its duality. Ill leave you to work out what the lyrics are really
about… They are some of the darkest lyrics Ive come across in
years.”

Another special moment is the feature of London Elektricity’s youngest
son, The Secretary-General. The talented nine-year-old takes no ‘Time To
Think’ as he flawlessly flows through Inja’s lyrics with the
ever-vibrant MC following suit, bringing the track full-circle across
generations.

London Elektricity is the mastermind behind classic Hospital albums such as
‘Pull The Plug’, ‘Syncopated City’, ‘Are We
There Yet?’, and ‘Yikes’. His latest body of work delves
into uncharted depths for a very personal and expressive collection of tracks
where drum & bass and live instrumentation meet. London Elektricity can be found
showcasing this latest chapter with tours in China, Japan, the UK and Europe
throughout 2019.

‘Building Better Worlds’ is available as a special limited edition,
36-page lyric-book complete with an in-depth narrative for each track and a 3 x
clear vinyl, on sale exclusively from the Hospital Shop.
