Sensorimotor (album)

Sensorimotor is a studio album by American musician Lusine, released on March 3, 2017, through Ghostly International.

Background and release
Sensorimotor was announced on January 10, 2017, four years after Lusine's previous album on Ghostly International, The Waiting Room. The same day, a single, "Just a Cloud", featuring Vilja Larjosto, was released. On February 12, a second single, "Won't Forget", was released, also featuring Larjosto. Sensorimotor was released on March 3, 2017. A music video for "Just a Cloud" was premiered by Vice on March 30, which used a custom lighting rig featuring 2,300 LEDs and was directed by Michael Reisinger in collaboration with Alex Borton. A remix album, Sensorimotor Remixes, was released on September 15, 2017.

Reception
According to review aggregator Metacritic, Sensorimotor received "generally favorable reviews" from critics. A reviewer wrote to Mojo that the album contains "[b]ig, warm music that doesn't shout loud, yet makes itself heard." Timothy Monger of AllMusic said that, with the album, Lusine "takes another evolutionary step forward, seeming strangely natural in his skin of manipulation." A reviewer for The Wire said that the album "settles into a solid groove of high end electro pop with just enough dust to keep it grounded." A The A.V. Club writer described it as a "pleasant, if unmoving slice of electro ambience". Exclaim! Will Pearson thought the album wasn't as strong as other Lusine albums released through Ghostly. Landon MacDonald of PopMatters said the album "is an exercise in doing many things well but nothing truly great."
