Minneapolis producer Lazerbeak has recently released two brand new singles titled, “On the Sparrow” and “Maggie Valley,” which serve as preparation for and glimpse into the artist’s upcoming LP, Lava Bangers II. The new record also happens to be a sequel, following Lava Bangers, which was released ten years ago in 2012.
“On the Sparrow” embodies more of a gospel sound with a smooth, slow, and almost soulful melody and tempo that carefully builds. Meanwhile, “Maggie Valley” is more upbeat with its electronic influences more prevalent throughout.
“It sums up the artist I am right now,” Lazerbeak says about the forthcoming project. “It’s everything from dance music, house, electronic. Of course, there’s still some hardcore hip-hop and nods to the ‘80s and ‘90s R&B that I love…I think there’s so much in here. So many change-ups, so many ideas—you could really tap into it and ride the roller coaster.”
Lava Bangers II will be available on Nov. 11 via Doomtree Records.
