Peter Lawlor aka Polytunnel, a producer and DJ, releases his debut album The Word for World is Forest via Alien Communications on December 13. He says: "The Word for World is Forest is an album influenced by the city of Glasgow, showcasing Polytunnel’s love of classic detroit-inspired electro along with nods to the techno and house that has influenced his work over previous records. Recorded in Glasgow, the album is a love letter to the city that continues to inspire and over the course of nine tracks, offers a glimpse into the producer’s broad palette of electronic sounds. The title is inspired by Ursula K Le Guin’s novella of the same name, which delves into themes of destruction, resistance, and the devastating impact of imperialism.'
