Lostboycrow - Indie Pop - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Following the of their second album, II, in July 2024 to critical and fan acclaim, Kiasmos toured four continents, performing to sold-out audiences around the world over the next 18 months. Now, the duo, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen, have invited some of their favourite artists on a completely reworked version of the record.The two friends entrusted the task to LA-based composers/producers/multi-instrumentalists Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith (AKA Disiniblud), fellow Icelandic composers Kjartan Holm and Sin Fang, and long-time friend and American composer Alex Somers. The result is a sprawling and shimmering trip back through the album's melodies, with a dream-like haze more suited for after the dancefloor and when the lights have faded.The entirety of II has been reworked in sequence by the artists, each bringing their own distinctive colouring to the original songs. Nayar and Keith use electronic experimentation to reshape the emotional core, unveiling and highlighting stems that lay in the background of their original forms. Holm and Fang emphasise the simple beauty of the compositions, while Somers, working with analogue studio equipment, detunes pianos and strings and slows the pieces down, allowing the songs to reach new emotional heights. The physical formats of II Reworked will be released 1 month prior to streaming and download formats.

Featuring artwork by Big Flowers, it also includes a hand-written 16-page lyric booklet. The CD version of Load Bearing Crow's Feet is the only physical copy with the InchBardoInch bonus track, featuring billy woods and produced by Evidence.Aging is a trip. People wear their years in interesting ways. If you find yourself mining your past through the traces of your face, you are certainly not alone. Choosing who you hitch your wagon to can be of utmost importance, and at the risk of being reductive, be careful who you F**k with. Remorse is always just a stone's throw away.Fittingly, this collaboration is coming for a long time. The history between New York artist PremRock and Backwoodz Studioz is deep, forged on hardscrabble cross-country tours, late Brooklyn nights, DIY showcases, and one very memorable wedding. This long association was formalized with Backwoodz of ShrapKnel in 2020 a rowdy collaboration between PremRock and Curly Castro that has earned praise from fans and critics alike. PremRock's solo LP Load Bearing Crow's Feet is a different animal, pensive and at times poignant, exploring themes as universal as they are evergreen. Bar-stool prophets, weary junkies, timecard punchers, and unrepentant grifters all share the same shabby stage, knowing all too well that the past is prologue.Buoyed as always by the redoubtable Willie Green, the backdrop is a diverse collage of the underground's vanguard du jour, led by tracks from Denmark Vessey, Small Professor, BrainOrchestra, Messiah Musik, Fresh Kils, Zilla Rocca, and Prem himself. A true-to-form Backwoodz affair features guest vocals from ELUCID, Fielded, Curly Castro, and Henry Canyons, as well as AJ Suede and cuts by Marcus Pinn-art direction by Kyle Tierce of Memetic Supply.This is not PremRock's first album but his most fully realized work, imbued with humanity, wit, and rare emotional depth.
