PLM Announces New Eliot Lipp Album 'Shark Wolf Rabbit Snake'

Article Contributed by Pipeline Productions | Published on Friday, May 11, 2012

PLM is set to release the new Eliot Lipp album, Shark Wolf Rabbit Snake, on May 22, 2012. This release has Lipp breaking new ground with his ever-evolving production style. He has developed a unique sound that is completely its own yet sticks with the PLM axiom of genre bending originality. The album incorporates everything that has recently been in Lipp's sonic world, including hip-hop, drum & bass, funk, techno, jazz, and more, while still remaining a cohesive whole. The album is heavy on analogue synthesis and very tasteful sample collaging. These two elements make it sound as though it is simultaneously ahead of its time, and from the past.

"Eliot has been an inspiration and a friend over the years. We have played more than several shows together and whether there's 5 or 5000 people in the crowd, Eliot knows how to rock the party. The new style on Shark Wolf Rabbit Snake made it obvious that it was time for the two of us to team through PLM. He manages to stick with the style he has developed while leaning more towards classy good feeling electro hip-hop, and that, after all, is what I'm all about" - Derek Vincent Smith (founder of PLM and producer behind Pretty Lights)

Download the first single "Sunset" and get a taste of what's to come before the entire album drops on May, 22nd 2012 at www.prettylightsmusic.com/therecordlabel . The album will be available on vinyl at www.eliotlipp.com with pre-orders beginning today.

This album demonstrates a side of Lipp's sound that is heavier and more aggressive, with tracks that build tension and suspense, while still maintaining an underlying humor that keeps the bass from becoming too serious. Lipp displays an intuitive knack for teasing melodies out of rhythmic bangers, and draws from a remarkably mature sonic palette - two qualities that set the young instrumental producer apart. Most of the tracks for the album were created while Lipp was on tour, and then put together in the studio to form the album.
