"...these..." Releases "Seventeen" (TheEF-CD003)
7th January 2008 - Available from Road Records.com
LPX according to me!!! Bio Leighton P Xavier Proudly Presents...LPX is Kildare man Leigh O’Gorman (LPX for shortness). He specialises in brooding punk infused experimental electronica, as heard on three recent (and highly recommended) releases, Seventeen, Experiments in Dub and HiFi and Easy Music for Difficult Ears.
On LPX releases he provides the (occasional) vocals, the programming, the production AND plays all the instruments and is also the man behind The Electric Fix, a musical collective running gigs around Dublin as well as occassionally releasing CD's and the like. Leigh says his music sounds like “a bunch of nerds in a small room dropping acid”. When performing live (and in studio) Leigh prefers to use Reason 2.5, Cubase SX along with piano's, guitars, percussion and anything else he can get his hands on.
In his spare time, he writes for the music orientated blog, Easy Music for Difficult Ears - easymusicfordifficultears.blogspot.com
News LPX is releasing a new EP in conjunction with Drunken Lust Records on Friday August 1st and will accompany this with a show in Dublin (August 1st launch night), at the Mantua Festival in Roscommon (August 2nd, Alphabet Set Tent) and anywhere else that will have him that Bank Holiday weekend.
The new LPX release, "Seventeen" EP, can be bought here at RoadRecs.com!!
Meanwhile, here are some nice things that have been said about it...
"...a collection of five inventive and agile instrumental tracks spanning 25 minutes, O'Gorman scores a coup with the sinister 'Jake's Lament'. Seventeen showcases an artist who is making music that's an unmitigated pleasure to partake in..."
Lauren Murphy, Entertainment.ie (February 2008)
"...if you're a fan of melodic electronica then you'll love "Seventeen". The five tracks on the EP are prime slices of lush electronica with an edge of dub - atmospheric, at times dark and menacing, at times soaring and energising..."
Aoife Barry, Kildare Nationalist (January 2008)
"...as track seams into track, I realise that this music was made to walk, breathe, live to: filled with purpose and intent, it will take you where you need to go..."
Naomi McArdle, Off Her Rocker (January 2008)
"...the fact that (he) sounds like Four-Tet jamming with a Glockenspiel wielding Patrick Moore should be recommendation enough..."
Music Like Dirt (February 2008)
"...the album [EP] features four [five] short little pieces of lush electronica. Top notch stuff yet again from LPX..."
RoadRecs.com (Road Records - January 2008)
"...it's more than that, it's a feeling. Like the title track of Kid A with fully grown legs, jazz put through tapped out electronica. LPX makes fine music from these things..."
The Torture Garden (September 2007)

Hi Leighton P Xavier Proudly Presents... LPX, Thanks for the add – have a good one. All the best Sososher Sososher – it’s a bit of a tongue twister isn’t it “try saying it three times in a row”. Now you’ve heard the name, you’re going to have to find out what it means. www. sososher. com
I've uploaded 3 brand new songs from my upcoming album onto my page. I thought I'd get in touch & let you know cos you liked my recent single "Peace of Mind".
