brooklyn's wierd records is proud to present the debut lp from led er est. formed in 2007, the band has both been fostered by and has served as a vitally integral part of the brooklyn minimal electronics scene. like their close friends and label allies martial canterel and xeno & oaklander, this first full-length release shows the 3 piece clearly breaking out of the wierd minimal synth underground to create an undeniably contemporary set of highly crafted, sophisticatedly restrained, and icily psychedelic pop songs. following on the heels of both last year's self-released and 'gone in five minutes' debut 7" 'fingers curling up', as well as the recently released single on brooklyn's captured tracks label 'poll gorm b/w 'man and tree', this long-awaited long-player shows the band confidently coming into their own and is a welcome frozen blast of pleasure to their many fans, as their wildly raw and often improvisatory and unhinged live performances have garnered devoted cult followings in the cold wave, house, disco, and experimental electronics/noise scenes in brooklyn and lower manhattan.
