Transfixing and transfiguring, LFZ is Sean Smith’s electrified cosmic music project in the grandiose lineage of Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, and Jean-Michel Jarre. LFZ’s fourth full length album, Raveled Veiled Known is sonic journeywork across shimmering exoplanets and into vast, luminous interiorities.

An album of monumental synthesizer focused extravagancies, Raveled Veiled Known finds LFZ at an apex of fluidity and prowess. The album deals with concepts of growth, change, the depth of the unknown, and how we organize our understanding and interpretation of these. The cover, hand embroidered artwork by Smith, depicts mixed esoteric imagery derived from Astrology, Tarot, Numerology, Sigil Magick, and the pioneer plaque.

Raveled Veiled Known was created over a long expanse of time, in many locations, by various means of recording, but primarily came to be in the months leading up to and following the birth of Smith’s daughter. “The transition into fatherhood is a mysterious simultaneous journey into and from darkness and light. It is disorienting and grounding. Unmooring and solidifying. The sense of self becomes fractured and yet, more clear than ever.” His music making began to reflect similar dialectics. Smith had reached a level of self awareness and rote technique within the LFZ realm, but as he carved out familiar foundations he would often find himself in chaotic or profoundly abstract storms of improvisation. “At any given step of the process I could be in complete control or have a sense of channelling.”
