With Technology Fueled Dream Obsolescence, Mouth Water delivers a record that feels less like a collection of tracks and more like a single, continuous thought unfolding in motion. The project, led by Italian producer and multi-instrumentalist Lawrence Fancelli, reaches a new level of emotional clarity and technical precision here, presenting his most fully realized work to date. Released via Through The Void Records, the album arrives as a sleek, cinematic meditation on intimacy and resilience in a world increasingly filtered through screens and signals. When you listen, headphones are a must!

Written over several years between Florence and New York, the album carries the weight of lived experience and endless experimentation. Fancelli’s roots in house music and 80s synth-pop remain foundational, but they are reshaped into something more narrative-driven and immersive. Analog warmth hums beneath pristine electronic surfaces, creating a balance that mirrors the album’s thematic tension between human connection and digital abstraction. The production is immaculate to say the absolute least. Every texture breathes, every transition feels intentional. From the opening moments on “Grolopue”, you automatically feel like you’re embarking on an adventure.

What sets Technology Fueled Dream Obsolescence apart from the get go is its commitment to flow yet keeping things fluid as well. Rather than chasing individual moments designed for algorithmic attention, Mouth Water builds a cohesion across nine tracks that clock in at just under half an hour. It’s concise yet expansive, inviting you to enter into the world that he’s built. The album moves like a film score for an unseen story, guided by mood rather than hooks. The vocals add a ton to the mix as well, sort of like a lightness to some of these more intricate pieces. For example, “Rise” adds a bit a reprieve and feels like the “single” of the record, but that’s before diving back headfirst into the uniqueness of it all.

While introspection and melancholy are still present, they’re no longer static. Instead, the music leans into motion. Pulsing rhythms and luminous synth lines carry an optimism in tone, even when the atmosphere turns reflective. It’s club-ready, designed as much for late-night headphones as for a darkened dance floor. There’s no possible way you could listen to this and your body stay still, it’s just too energetic at times.

Its sound design is detailed and immersive, rewarding attentive listening while remaining immediately accessible. More than anything, the album succeeds as a true long-form experience, one that trusts its audience to follow its emotional logic from start to finish. We’ve been all about the singles that we’ve reviewed over 2025, but there’s something about that “album experience” that just gives so much outstanding context to what he’s been working towards.

In an era where digital tools often flatten feeling, he uses those same tools to carve out space for reflection. Technology Fueled Dream Obsolescence is proof that electronic music can still dream, still ache, and still move with purpose. To say he’s crushed it wouldn’t be giving it enough credit. You have to listen in full to really get the full feel. So please, click those links below to listen in, follow along, and of course to stay tuned for whatever else 2026 brings. Enjoy!
