King Midas Sound - Aroo - 12-INCH SINGLE [12 inch Vinyl Single]

With influences ranging from a lifelong love of pop melodies & '80s New Wave through J. Dilla to the Mahavishnu Orchestra, LA based producer & multi-instrumentalist Lost Midas treads an aesthetic turf somewhere between Neon Indian & Bibio; irresistible and enduring ditties peeped through a shifting shroud of striking textures and idiosyncratic beats. Lost Midas is the alter ego of Boston born Jason Trikakis, who first established himself as a hip hop drummer in his teens and into his '20s. As the anchor of popular hip hop & funk seven piece the Press Project, in New Hampshire, Trikakis had his first taste of full scale touring, including support for the Roots and backing for Slick Rick. A stint in indie rock band the Honors in the mid 2000s, along with various session work including for Nigerian vocalist Lyeoka, also widened his horizons. Mastering a range of instruments along the way (including his current favorite, the keys), he gradually developed an obsession with composition and the endless possibilities within the realm of electronic production.

Gatefold 2LP (black vinyl). Dymna Lotva have many reasons to carry the torch of rebellion. The duo had to flee their native Belarus due to political persecution and attempts by the Lukashenka dictatorship to censure and suppress their art. On their third album, InchThe Land under the Black Wings BloodInch (original, not transcribed tile Inch????? ??? ??????? ??????? ????Inch), Dymna Lotva continue to sing songs filled with grief and pain. The Belarusians have beautifully and powerfully enhanced their very personal style. With a solid base in black metal, but also taking many elements from doom as well as traditional music, the duo has moved beyond the post-black metal tag and created melancholic, haunting melodies that bear their unmistakable trademark and results in a unique emotional sound. Dymna Lotva base their lyrics on true tales from Belarus, which is filled with accounts of sorrow gleaned from historical archives or folklore, while new horrors are committed in their country every day. Composer Jauhien Charkasau and vocalist Katsiaryna InchNokt AeonInch Mankevich date the inception of Dymna Lotva to November 8, 2015. The spark that ignited their musical fire was the news of Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexandrovna Alexievich winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. On the same day, the duo created their first song, which was inspired by the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe and released as a single entitled '??????? ???????? ?????' (InchA Solitary Human VoiceInch) in 2016. This was followed by Dymna Lotva's first full-length InchThe Land under the Black Wings SwampInch (????? ??? ??????? ??????? ??????) in the same year. The debut album also formed the first part of a conceptual trilogy based on the duo's homeland. With their sophomore album, InchWormwoodInch (?????), which is not part of the planned trilogy, Dymna Lotva returned to the topic of Chernobyl in 2017
