KORELESS

Words by Paul Brown

Koreless is the work of one man, the disgustingly youthful Lewis Roberts, late of Bangor but now Glasgow-based. He fills a loosely similar space to that occupied by James Blake before he went all soul-step, playing around with chopped-up, disembodied voices and rich textures. It’s ideal fodder for that point last thing at night when you’re about to drift off.

'4D' is a perfect example of Roberts’ craft, an absolutely beautifully produced sliver of ghostly, unnerving beauty. It strikes that delicate balance between simplicity and intricacy, and illustrates exactly why there’s so much buzz around Koreless at the moment. He plays live dates across Europe over the next 6 months, including sets at The Great Escape and Field Day, so why not beat the clamour?
