# Boxcutter’s hosting new album
Barry Lynn is one of **Planet Mu**'s most devoted musical offsprings.
His first record on the effervescent staple appeared six years ago and
over that time -- and with four PM albums under his belt, Lynn's sonic
stamp has evolved from brooding IDM-inflected to 2-step driven rhythms
to kosmische experiments and synth-laden, new agey territories so
favoured by the new Northern American wave of musicians.
The shift towards more esoteric sounds was already audible on his last
Boxcutter LP ***The Dissolve*** and this has been even more pronounced
on his debut album as The Host. Recorded on -- what
else -- vintage synths, drum machines, with guitar and bass thrown in
for good measure and coated with an ample amounts of reverb, The Host is
a melancholic, glistening trip to the outer sonisphere with
strategically placed 808 sounds as a subtle reference to Lynn's other
alter ego.
The Host's eponymous album is out on 20 March on Planet Mu.
