LP

LP is the second studio album by Canadian collective Holy Fuck, released in 2007. It represents a definitive moment in the mid-2000s indie-electronic crossover, notable for its strict 'no-laptop' policy. The album was partially recorded in a barn in Ontario and features several tracks captured live during radio sessions, lending it a raw, immediate energy that distinguishes it from the polished IDM of the era. Sonically, it is built on a foundation of live, acoustic drumming and an array of non-traditional sound sources, including toy keyboards, 35mm film synchronizers, and various effect pedals. This approach earned the album a Juno Award nomination and a spot on the Polaris Music Prize shortlist. It is widely considered the band's creative peak, successfully bridging the gap between experimental noise and accessible, danceable grooves. Key tracks like 'Lovely Allen' became indie-club staples, while the album as a whole solidified the 'poptron' aesthetic.
