UK-based experimental artist Joe Scerri became involved with underground music at a young age. During the mid 80s to 1990, Scerri DJ-ed at various clubs, parties, and on the radio and began to make his own music via casio keyboard, drum machine, guitar, bass, and some children’s toys. After college, Scerri began to write and release music under the name Lake Lustre in 2000.

After relocating to Switzerland, he finished and released his debut album Indecipherabilia on Abflug Records in 2004. Since then, he has toured in many European countries such as Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, in addition to Argentina and Australia. He released his new 15-track album Mountain Math early last week.

Many musical genres are presented in Mountain Math through an experimental approach. Each track dabbles with elements of electronic music to create a lofty overtone throughout the entire album (reminiscent of Grizzly Bear experimentalism in some parts). To end the album, Scerri includes a nice remix of “Shoplifter” by Aliplays.
