Lawrence returns to Smallville with Poppies, a four-track EP that finds Peter M. Kersten refining his melodic house language with quiet confidence. The record revisits familiar terrain while gently nudging it forward, balancing warmth, restraint and emotional nuance with the producer’s trademark sense of space and flow. Each track unfolds patiently, favouring subtle shifts and carefully judged progression over overt peaks, resulting in music that feels both timeless and deeply personal. There’s a poetic economy at work here: melodies linger, rhythms glide, and textures are allowed room to breathe. Poppies stands as a focused statement from an artist fully at ease with his voice, offering another elegant chapter in Lawrence’s long-running relationship with Smallville.
