Pagan Wanderer Lu returns with "European Monsoon", his finest and most accessible collection to date. Mixing sharp political observation, wry, witty lyrics and a completely unique take on electronic indie-pop, "European Monsoon" is a watershed release for the veteran songwriter.
'I wanted it to sound fuller and more musical and to not really have that intentionally wonky/lo-fi feel that the previous stuff did', says Regan of the new polished sound. 'I really paid attention to how everything sounded and did my homework on how to get the sound I wanted'. This included mixing and mastering work with Chicks On Speed, Youthmovies and Foals producer Oliver Horton at Dreamtrak Studios in East London. Pagan Wanderer Lu is a one-man indie/electronica or 'Indietronica' act based in Cardiff. The act consists of Andy Regan (born in Bolton), who performs using a variety of instruments both synthesised and conventional, including Roland grooveboxes, an Omnichord, and 'the futuristic keyboard that plays itself' which was acquired at a car boot sale.
