“Where do you go? Waiting around, where do you go from here?” wonders the chorus of “Secret Friend,” the first single from GROUNDERS’ debut self-titled LP. With a dreamy, reverb-drenched intro, the song drifts alongside layers of wobbly arpeggiated synth lines and space-age guitar melodies. It’s the opening track, and it’s also a fitting intro to GROUNDERS . It shimmers and gleams, but there’s a scrappy, stripped-back undertone that chips away at any polish. For every catchy hook and lush arrangement throughout the album there’s a woozy counterpoint that keeps things slightly off-kilter.

Sometimes, you have a sparking idea, a thought which takes shape within seconds. This is exactly what happened when I received a demo by Patlac in spring 2017. The year before, we had signed the lovely "Random Walks" for our summer compilation "BBQ Techno 6", so we were already in touch, but what we received from him this time was different, advanced and something we could not resist. A selection of titles, all of them as though they had been made to stay together and a blueprint for our Livingroom Techno sound idea. It was clear for me right from the start, that the next Livingroom Techno would not be a compilation, but an album, our first Livingroom Techno album.

We are accustomed to think of England in terms of Shakespeare's 'precious stone set in a silver sea', safe behind its watery ramparts with its naval strength resisting all invaders. To the English of an earlier period - from the 8th to the 11th centuries - such a notion would have seemed ridiculous.
