Laser - Night Driver (Foreseen Entertainment) 2016
7
Toronto trio Laser is fronted by Lisa Lobsinger, formerly of Broken Social Scene. She is joined by Paul Pfisterer (The Beauties/Kat Rocket) and Martin Davis Kinack (Transistor Sound & Lighting Co./Sarah Harmer). Laser feels like Lisa’s solo project where she emerges as an artist with a beautiful approach to these steady and atmospheric sounds. Night Driver is remarkable on its way to express such warm and fulfilling emotions through synth pop. The layers of sound are exquisite and textural, and Lisa’s voice is smooth and gentle in such evolving tracks like “Leaving It Too Late”, “Disconnect” and “Maniacs”. For their first release, Laser do it in a very reasonable way, not pushing too much of what they may have to offer in the future.
