Released: 21st October 2005
From the deliriously frazzled mind of Martin Wheeler comes Vector Lovers, a self-confessed manga mad computer nerd and eighties obsessed knob-twiddler who has produced one of this years most irresistible albums with his eponymous Soma debut. The Vector Lovers sound encompasses beautifully emotive electronica and raw alien future funk. Bring on the droids…
“Vector Lovers has hit on a sound that’s more relevant than 99% of modern electronic music…inspirational, essential and as much a landmark release as Hacker & Kittens ‘Frank Sinatra’. Richard Brophy (DJ magazine) Born in Reading, now residing in the same street in York where Frankie Howerd was born, Vector Lovers unique production style is winning him fans across the globe. With nods to musical influences such as Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and early synth pop to The Happy Mondays, Velvet Underground and My Bloody Valentine. Nowadays Vector Lovers is listening to modern electronic geniuses like Isan, Boards Of Canada and Aphex Twin, and labels like Toytronic, AI and Ghostly International. This release is also a new direction for Soma with its deep and dreamy electronic lullabies.
Vector Lovers has been touring his live set throughout cooler European venues and recently made his festival debut at the 15000 capacity Slam Tent at T In The Park which he tore the roof off.
Prepare to be transported to the extraordinary world of Vector Lovers.
