Leon Campbell, known professionally as Lnrdcroy, is a Canadian electronic music producer. Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia,[1] his music is known for ethereal & nostalgic[2][3] synthesizer sounds and emotive, euphoric melodies.[2] Orbital, Aphex Twin and Underworld have been mentioned as formative musical inspirations.[1][4]
Career[edit]
Campbell began producing music in the early 2000s.[4]
He released his debut album Much Less Normal in 2014,[5] first on Canadian record label 1080p as a cassette edition,[6] followed by a double album vinyl & CD re-release on Scottish label Firecracker Recordings in 2015.[7][8] The album garnered critical acclaim,[1][8][9][10] being featured in The Guardian's best electronic music of 2014 list,[11] and has since been regarded as a seminal example of the outsider house genre.[12]
2014 saw the release of a split EP with Canadian electronic musician Boreal on Forbidden Planet records[13] titled FP-003, followed by another split release, L.P.C.001, with American electronic musician Solpara on Forbidden Planet sub-label L.P.C.[14]
In 2015, a 3-track 7" record, UNTHANK008, was released through Firecracker Recordings sub-label Unthank,[15] followed by the 12" vinyl Ooze City on Canadian label Mood Hut in 2016.[16]
In 2024, a 4-track EP titled Contact-E was announced via Clone Records, to be released on Clone sub-label Repetitive Rhythm Research.[17]
Lnrdcroy has performed live[18][19][20][21] alongside artists such as Bochum Welt, Helena Hauff, and Oneohtrix Point Never.[19][18]
