valkiwi THIS WHOLE ALBUM. ✨✨
The drum loops in particular are seriously infectious and at times schizophrenic which I personally love.

This Album is what really caught my attention from this artist, and is the reason I even made this bandcamp account.
I am 100% on-board after hearing Un-Learn's piano, Commencement's incredible intro, whatever the hell's going on in the background of Creep Me Out, the bassline in What To Say... I could go on.

Aphex Twin vibes on some of these tracks. Favorite track: Un-Learn.

Shaun Rutherford So much great stuff on here. So much promise. Album cover deliberately bad? I can't get my friends to listen to this because they think this is a bootleg I got forced to buy at the beach. Favorite track: What To Say.

about

Hello all,
my name is Noah Yorke, I am from Oxford in the United Kingdom, and this album, Living Entities, has been my musical project over the COVID-19 lockdown period. For this project I am using the artist name L.E.T.H.A.L, an acronym which stands for Living Entities Trying Hard Always Learning. I previously released some music on here and SoundCloud under the name Alec Owen, as you can see from this Bandcamp page. I've kept that as it is for this pre-release version of the L.E.T.H.A.L album, as I couldn't be bothered to make a whole new page.
I have written, recorded, mixed and mastered nearly all of this project myself, with the exception of Either/Or which was produced by my friend Dan Greer. Apologies in advance for the inconsistent mixing on my part.
I hope you enjoy listening, and soon you will also be able to find this album on the main streaming services.
Thanks!
