Louis La Roche returns with his fifth studio album 'Admittedly'.
Limiting himself to synthesisers and techniques used in the 1980's, Louis set out to create a Modern Pop album, using only vintage sounds. The result is a beautifully nostalgic, soundscape journey, fused with contemporary songwriting. Lyrically the album explores 'hard truths' within relationships as it's core concept, set to the soft, rich and warm tones from the albums sound palette. Two years in the making, the album is his first LP to be pressed to vinyl. A limited edition double LP, with run of only 100 copies is available below - It includes a free digital download of the album.

Floating empire
Held up by fraying wire
I'll cover you in winter
Like a blanket by the fire
And when the rent's too high
We'll just buy cheaper wine
And hang on to see if whether
Constellations hold together or not crabsatmidnight
