Lontalius – “Light Shines Through Dust”
New Zealander Eddie Johnston, bka Lontalius, has made a name for himself recording chilled-out versions of top 40 tracks that he would quietly upload to SoundCloud without much ceremony. After collaborating with established artists (Ryan Hemsworth) and fellow up-and-comers (Tunji Ige, whose album we wrote about yesterday), Lontalius will be releasing an original debut LP. “Light Shines Through Dust” is the first single off of the still unnamed debut, and it cradles all of Johnston’s delicate vocal qualities that we’ve grown accustomed to, but this time he’s exhaling his own words. It’s difficult to describe the track as anything but really, really beautiful. Listen below.
