The histories of Damian Lazarus, Kenny Glasgow and Crosstown Rebels have been intertwined for well over a decade. Glasgow’s unmistakable voice and production were central to Art Department’s sound as the project emerged through the label under Lazarus’ guidance, and their relationship has continued over the years since. Now, the pair come together under their own names for ‘Where Do We Go?’, a new collaboration that draws from that shared past without attempting to recreate it.
There’s a lot simmering beneath the surface. ‘Where Do We Go?’ moves through a restless web of influences, with Kenny’s vocal sitting at its heart as wiry guitar riffs, acid touches and sweeping electronics continuously shift around it. Indie dance traces sit alongside the late-night house sensibility familiar to both artists, but the record never settles neatly into any one space; tension builds, ideas overlap, and the arrangement keeps moving without tipping into excess.
“Where do we go? An unanswerable question for the dance floor. Maybe the answer lies in the journey from a to b, from beginning to end. Surely when the ashes of a burnt-down studio rise into the air, their destination must be to the future…or maybe they just clear a pathway through the sky so that we can finally see the moon.” – Damian Lazarus.
For Lazarus, the single marks his return to home turf following the release of ‘Magickal’, an album that once again placed collaboration at the heart of his work, bringing together talents such as Fink, Jem Cooke, JOJO ABOT, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, A-Trak and Mathew Jonson. That instinct for unexpected combinations has run alongside his work at the helm of Crosstown Rebels throughout its history, with his output consistently drawing on a kaleidoscopic musical vocabulary beyond house and techno alone. Meanwhile, Glasgow arrives with an equally individual history. A foundational voice within Art Department and an established solo artist long before the project began, his catalogue stretches back to the early ’90s and across releases for Turbo and No.19 Music. His instantly recognisable vocal style has remained a defining part of his work, and on ‘Where Do We Go?’ it cuts straight through the production, anchoring the track as everything else shifts around it.
