Vezelay is 30-year-old Matthieu Le Berre from France, and this dreamlike six-track EP is his debut release. Lyre simply and beautifully mixes stripped-down electro-pop with Le Berre's soft falsetto, and on repeated listens reveals an austere depth and complexity. The EP opens with Sedative, where vocals drift over soft arpeggios and a spacious kick drum. On Demure, the beat is buried under a hazy structure, while a light guitar builds and shines alongside his light vocals. The opening chords of Archetype are reminiscent of Boards of Canada, building the track with harmonics and hip hop drums, as a vocal line is chopped and pitched into a rhythmic loop. Sedative, Demure, Archetype, Lyre, Homeboy, Coma
