19-year-old experimental artist Malcom Lacey created something magical with his solo music project Arrange. His 2011 release Plantation generated a lot of buzz, including write-ups in The Guardian (UK) and Pitchfork, and established his identity as an emerging new alternative artist. Arrange’s sixth LP New Memory, released earlier this month, features an ambient, kaleidoscopic sound that reaches out into infinity and then collapses back in on itself. Lacey, who wrote, arranged, and recorded New Memory, succeeds in creating a stunningly vast atmosphere. His vocals float and echo, while soft piano chords and guitar riffs flow beautifully with more non-traditional instrumentals. New Memory is something special.- Sarah Walters
