House Of Black Lanterns is the brand-new project from Dylan Richards, formerly known as King Cannibal (Ninja Tune) and Zilla (Warp). Retaining the earlier influence of DJ Krust's sprawling drum and bass soundscapes, House Of Black Lanterns sees Richards develop his sound to incorporate the dub-inflected techno textures of Rhythm & Sound while nodding to the catchy, yet occasionally bleak floorfillers of Trax, all inspired by the modern noir visual style of Michael Mann. Featuring "Shot You Down," co-written by Alpines' Catherine Pockson, and vocals across the rest of the LP from Trinidadian emcee Juakali, Planet Mu's eccentric Rudi Zygadlo, Ghettozoid, and British singer/songwriter Leni Ward, Kill the Lights is dark but serene, with a beautiful range of tracks throughout. Houndstooth is the artist-led label from London's renowned Fabric nightclub and label. Mastered by MPG Mastering Engineer of the Year 2013, Matt Colton at Alchemy.
