Laundromat - Red EP
Meet Me In St Louis frontman Toby Haynes releases the final part of his ‘colours’ trilogy of Laundromat EPs after the Blue and Green efforts last year.
Exploring lyrical themes of mental health, friendship and erstwhile politicians, it’s arguably the most complete set of the three.
Once again the production is muffled, akin to Unknown Mortal Orchestra, yet that increases the intimate air; a scrape of orchestral strings announces Flat Planet, which begins with a strident bassline before gnarly guitars are introduced halfway through. It crams a lot into its three-minute runtime.
