Critically-acclaimed rock poster designer and screen printer Lonny Unitus (Death Cab For Cutie, New Pornographers, Stereolab, Sun Volt) was hired on to handle art direction. Unitus is a huge Wes Anderson fan and jumped at the opportunity to design and illustrate every aspect of the project. He had his hands full too as I SAVED LATIN! is by far American Laundromat’s most ambitious tribute to date.

Official release date and final tracklist will be announced in early 2014, and there’s still a chance a limited-edition LP may be offered. It would be American Laundromat’s first.

Stream Synkro's new EP in full & download his mix for Thump

Lost Here EP out now on Apollo Records 
 
 EP Stream: Synkro -  Lost Here - 
 
Close your eyes and breathe deeply with this one, as Synkro returns for his third release on Apollo with four new productions of affecting, midnight electronica.
  
Joe McBride's ear for inimitable melodies has always fit his intricate percussion patterns like a glove. On the Lost Here EP, however, the Synkro project has been elevated to a new level with subtle flourishes of pop structure and two standout vocal performances by Robert Manos.
  
"Lost Here" ascends to the clouds, hovering on cavernous chords that wrap Manos' words in a cocoon as rhythms flit underneath. Touching down again, "In My Arms" calls on oscillating layers of synthesizer to create a dreamlike environment, isolating Manos' vocals in an antechamber of space and sound. The B-side slinks in with a playful bass riff on "Nights of Pleasure," underpinning celestial waves of chimes, tones, and chords before "Fading Lights" suspends each element in zero-gravity as a pure, heat-treated distillation of the Synkro sound. 
 
Synkro's Lost Here EP was released earlier this week on Apollo Records and it's now available to stream in full through their YouTube channel
 
Synkro has also done an exclusive mix for Thump, which is currently available for download.
