''Ecstasy & Friends'' appeared on the [[Werk Discs]] label in 2009.

[[Lone]]’s 2008 release ''Lemurian'' is his most critically acclaimed release to date,<ref>http://www.straightouttanow.com/lounge_chillout/2008/06/12/lone_lemurian.html</ref> receiving compliments from critics and even a few musicians as well.

Banks also used his song "Koran Angel" as an interlude on her mixtape [[Fantasea (mixtape)|''Fantasea'']] and "Aquamarine" for her track "Count Contessa" from her second upcoming mixtape. Cutler produced the songs "Miss Amor" and "Miss Camaraderie" for her debut studio album ''[[Broke with Expensive Taste]]'', "Airglow Fires" is sampled on her Christmas EP ''[[Icy Colors Change]]'', and "Re-Schooling" is sampled for her song "Playhouse".
{{quotation|'''Lone''' has something that I think is very healthy for an artist to have in this age of [[Myspace]] music and the vast array of underground [[Record label|labels]], and that's a strong identity - I could spot a Lone track by hearing one or two bars, he has a personality in his music that is vivid. I reckon that Lemurian could provoke synaesthetic reactions in those who don't already have the condition, that is, its character seems to extend beyond the sonic domain into some other sensual domain.}}


British rock band [[Coldplay]] used a remix of their song "[[Midnight (Coldplay song)|Midnight]]" featuring elements of Lone's song "Blue Moon Tree" from ''Ambivert Tools Vol. 4'' on their [[Music of the Spheres World Tour]].
Before taking on Lone as a project, Matt Cutler played in the electronic duo Kids in Tracksuits with his friend Andy Hemsley. The duo has since broken up, and have no plans of getting back together. Cutler also plays in the side-project Kona Triangle when not working on Lone.<ref>http://www.elasticartists.net/enwiki/w/node/6?id=968</ref>

Biography

[edit]

Cutler adopted the Lone alias after the dissolution of his previous band, the electronic duo Kids in Tracksuits, in which Cutler performed with Andy Hemsley. His debut release as Lone came in 2007 with Everything is Changing Colour CD-R,[4] followed by another full-length album Lemurian in 2008 on the Dealmaker label. Ecstasy & Friends appeared on the Werk Discs label in 2009. While these releases combined abstract hip-hop beats with electronic textures,[4] Cutler moved towards a more dance-orientated sound with Emerald Fantasy Tracks (2010)[4][5] and Galaxy Garden (2012).[6] He also has released five EPs titled Cluster Dreams, Joyreel/Sunset Teens, Pineapple Crush/Angel Brain, Once In a While/Raptured and Echolocations EP,[7] released between 2009 and 2011.

Lone has been quoted as saying that the greatest influences on his music are artists such as Boards of Canada and Madlib. He also says that fellow British musician Keaver and Brause (stylized Keaver & Brause) and Bibio have had an effect on the way he makes his music.[3]

Cutler also plays in the side-project Kona Triangle when not working on Lone.[8] Kona Triangle is a collaboration between Keaver & Brause and Lone. Kona Triangle released a record titled Sing a New Sapling into Existence. Its album art was done by HAPPY DAZE.[9]

American rapper Azealia Banks samples "Pineapple Crush" on her debut EP, 1991, for her second single "Liquorice". Banks also used his song "Koran Angel" as an interlude on her mixtape Fantasea and "Aquamarine" for her track "Count Contessa" from her second upcoming mixtape. Cutler produced the songs "Miss Amor" and "Miss Camaraderie" for her debut studio album Broke with Expensive Taste, "Airglow Fires" is sampled on her Christmas EP Icy Colors Change, and "Re-Schooling" is sampled for her song "Playhouse".

British rock band Coldplay used a remix of their song "Midnight" featuring elements of Lone's song "Blue Moon Tree" from Ambivert Tools Vol. 4 on their Music of the Spheres World Tour.
