On his first label release, Feelings, Portland-based artist LEO ISLO focuses his efforts into a chillwave-laden house track saturated with warm pianos, pulsing baselines, and washy guitars. His wide and airy vocals are ever present, crooning introspectively about the isolation and vices of distant love before hitting us with a catchy hook.
LEO ISLO is new to the LA-based indie label LAMP in 2015, bringing with him a diverse catalogue of sounds spanning the genres of Lo-Fi Pop, chillwave, house, and indie-rock. His first EP, Modern Fiction, was released in 2014 and standout songs like Body Speak, Your Bones, and Zero grabbed attention early on, while also receiving nods from other contemporary electronic aficionados. He draws inspiration from artists like Jai Paul, Neon Indian, Toro Y Moi, Caribou, Washed Out, and Grimes.
