4AD is proud to welcome the Los Angeles based Lo-Fang and announce a very limited 12″ double A-side single, “#88/Boris,” set for release October 8th worldwide. These two tracks shared here are just the first look at Lo-Fang’s debut release, Blue Film, which will come in early 2014.
LA’s KCRW featured the track “#88” as “Top Tune” in August of this year.

Matthew Hemerlein, the vocalist and multi-instrumentalist behind Lo-Fang, who is classically trained in violin, cello, bass, piano and guitar, performed all of the instruments on Blue Film. The album was written and recorded in a farmhouse in Maryland, hotels and studios in Cambodia, London, Nashville, and completed in the legendary Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. This highly musical, detailed album has roots in electronic, R&B, classical, and folk music, all cast through a pop prism.
