Laucan's hushed and fragile folk emerged for a reason. Laurence Galpin grew up in the southern English town of Lewes. He played in a local prog band and when it stopped he wanted to make music, but for the time being, nobody would hear it. In this way he developed, in all privacy, his rustic psychedelic music and tender soft singing voice. Frames Per Second sounds poetic and pastoral, with influences
… from 70s folk. A lonely cello is a nice addition to his plucked and deeply echoing guitar songs. It is a pity that the dark atmosphere eventually becomes somewhat uniform. Laucan's alternating baritone and falsetto vocals in particular lack the character to continue to fascinate an entire album. Frames Per Second remains turned inward, as if he never left his room to make his music known to the world. (MR)more
