about

Guitarist and singer Ryosuke Nagaoka seems at home in the sounds produced by FLAU’s very own aus. The pair may have known each other for a decade or so, but it’s their first collaboration together. More like a mixtape than an album, Layland exists in a floating world of solid yet dreamy beatscapes conjured by aus, brought to life with vocals and guitar by Nagaoka — the same duties as with his enigmatic band (and ever-popular) band, Petrolz.

Whether it’s the frenetic noodling on deep house opener ‘Made-up Mind’ or the virtuoso, screaming solo in ‘Murmurs’, with its fluttering R&B feel, Nagaoka’s signature guitar weaves throughout aus’ distinctive production. It becomes a looping storm of chamber music meets bluegrass in ‘Candles’, and adds fusion-inflected colour to the wonky lounge boom bap in ‘Reverie 1:’.

Experimental and playful, Layland leans effortlessly into different genres. The nod to 80’s electro-pop in the analog synthesizer-inspired ‘Mirrored’, complete with warped, detuned synths and staccato guitar, is unmistakable, while the breakbeat-style ‘Hyatt Earp’ displays aus’ knack for richly textured percussion.
