Boris Carloff – Escapist to victory
Boris Carloff first came to broader attention earlier this year when his debut LP under that name, The Escapist, took the prestigious Apollo award – voted on by a panel of music critics – for best album of 2012. Previously active under the name Knot Photogenic, Carloff, whose sometimes bombastic music draws on a European synthpop tradition, is also renowned as a producer of big name Czech artists such as Kryštof and Sunshine.
