about
Lahars is the musical project of Simon Thomas, formerly of Score One For Safety. Using loops pedals, reverb and delay, Lahars creates post rock sound scapes from guitars and vocals. Organ Magazine May 2010 Lahars – A slow moving, gently gliding, slightly dark, rather soothing, extremely smooth solo musical project from Simon Thomas. Soundscapes, gentle textured guitars, loops, an ebow, and yes we could call it gentle post rock, thankfully none of those now cliché-ridden crescendos though, just slowly drifting by in a colourfully soothing way, positive use of electricity, slow waves of inviting glowing musical warmth. There are voices in there but not obviously, voice as another instrument, as part of these four instrumental pieces - the simple considered sound of empty beaches in twilight, of time and space, just rather soothing and rather enjoyable instrumental soundscapes" Leicester Mercury March 2010: "A solo guitarist making gorgeous soundscapes with loop pedals - the eager Lahars (aka Simon Thomas) in his impressive debut solo outing. Lahars used an electric sixstring and a distorting mic to create soothing, slow waves of sirens" User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
