“…ethereal soundscapes that will transport the listener to other plains of reality.” —Acid Test!
“Carl layers willowy guitar arpeggios, foggy keyboards, and chimes over Windy’s murmured intonations and rippling basswork. Everything sounds fresh and unaffected in the careful hands of th…
Overleaf
*150 copies limited edition* Overleaf is the new album by Paris-based musician Théo Martin, following Anti Atlas, released on Laaps two years ago. Overleaf was recorded over the course of a few intense months in 2026. Every recording made during this period eventually found its place within the album, transformed, fragmented and reassembled, sometimes far removed from its original form. The process gradually became a kind of puzzle, built from accumulated sounds, accidents and imperfections. Tap…
Nos Vemos El Próximo Año
