Eggcorn is the musical moniker of Lara Hoffman and refers to a word or phrase that sounds like and is mistaken for another word or phrase. The name arose from Lara’s love of wordplay, of the way singing words morph their pronunciation, and of alternate lyrics misheard by the listener.
Check out “London,” from Eggcorn where a syncopated synth swims amidst a pulsing groove, developing into a playful orchestration of color and texture. Hoffman’s melodic syncopation ebbs and flows, lending a vibrant glow to the scratchy topography that jives with a Beth Orton folktronica sound.
“Documenting senses, feelings, places & people, while exploring themes of novelty, nostalgia & artistic ambition. Initially written in bed on a mini Yamaha Portasound, “London” opens with the original canned electronic beat, quaint keys, and spare vocals before transporting into a lush alternative rock landscape, buzzing with bass and ornamented with samples from the Tube and Zoltar arcade played in Brighton.,” says Hoffman
