Following their debut single “Nebula,” Colorado based electronic trio LVNDR.SOUND announces their latest single titled, “Virtual One” featuring Grammy award winning trumpet player Eric ‘Benny’ Bloom of famed group Lettuce. “Virtual One” is LVNDR.SOUND’s second single off of their forthcoming nine track album set to release later this year. “Virtual One” has a highly anticipated release date of Tuesday, August 2nd via Denver based record label Perception Records.

Consistently breaking the dance music mold, “Virtual One” sees LVNDR.SOUND bridging the gap between modern house, nu-age funk and electro soul to create a deep and captivating soundscape. “Virtual One” showcases the trio’s high level production skills, eclectic taste and genre-bending sound. Just short of four minutes, “Virtual One” starts off with lush low-fi bass before speeding up to a mid tiempo beat with infectious synths and an alluring bassline before trumpeter Eric ‘Benny’ Bloom (known for his work with Lettuce and Pretty Lights) dominates with bright, tantalizing trumpet horn rhythms found throughout. Fusing raw instrumentals with house and soul sensibilities, LVNDR.SOUND’s unmatched artistry and soundscape continuously sets the trio apart from the rest.

About Bicycle Day SF:

At Bicycle Day SF, we seek to amplify that signal and broadcast that vibration, honoring the Good Doctor and all of those who followed in his footsteps, as well as push the envelope with new technologies that seek to entertain, inspire and evoke conscious evolution. Psychedelic Culture has been called the family of light, and those that get it, understand. The idea of union and a collective good is a core principle in the psychedelic experience. A feeling of connection, good vibes, and deeper understanding is part of the trip. We embrace that and once again we celebrate the Good Doctor, Albert Hofmann and the bicycle ride that changed the world.
