“‘The Lasers is my imaginary band that I wish I was a member of,’ he says. ‘When I wrote the album. The I started thinking, ‘If I was going to start a band now what would I call it?’ Most of my favorite bands have ‘The’ in their name, and I’m known for crazy laser shows. I almost told myself that it’s a new project, which allowed me to have a little bit more freedom because I could drop the expectation that comes with making albums under my own name. When it was finished I decided to put it under my own name but call it The Lasers.” — Gareth Emery as told to LA WEEKLY

Electronic musician and songwriter Gareth Emery is releasing his new artist album The Lasers last friday, July 10. For his fourth album, Emery has made a change in his approach by stepping away from traditional DJ routes of numerous collaborators and songwriters to write and produce everything himself.
Listen now here:
The first single from the album “You’ll Be Okay” released earlier this year is most likely one of the most Emery signature styles of song and is a must-listen for those expecting the likes of classic cuts like “Saving Light” or “Concrete Angel.”
Other singles include “Elise” which was written for his daughter and a horrible time in his life when she spent a few weeks in the hospital with pneumonia and “End Of Days,” a future bass laced track that Gareth says, “really felt like a milestone in terms of being able to write songs about my life.”
Much of what is on The Lasers reflects on the melancholy of these times.

4. St. Mary’s
