“Lonesome for a Storm” is the result of a felt sense in the summer of 2024. A fleeting feeling in the body meditated on and played through a restrained palette of instruments and found sound. LFAS is Gustav Kemps’s first solo album under his own name, but he’s been a frequent behind the scenes collaborator in various other bands (if you can connect the dots, there’s a lot to find). Mystery can be fun, but this album of his feels tender and generous in what it conveys.

RIYL: Empress, Loren Connors, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, The Humble Bee, Yo La Tengo, Taku Sugimoto...
