Perks of Living

Tic. Tock. Tic. Tock. 
In my dreams, I run, yet I stay put. ‘What a strange dream’, I slip. In this love story too. ‘Buttercup’ reflects the ambivalence of wanting to let go of the person you love while still wanting her to stay. 
The pinched sprint of the guitars, the gallop of the drums, the distorted bounce of a light, relaxed bass. Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by a melancholic current and soft vocal melodies. 
The sluggishness of a melting clock can only be offset by the tension of a yo-yo. After all, it's all hanging by a thread. Just wait for a minute, I'll be back.


Buttercup

A muffled guitar: whispering to avoid being heard, moving with stealth. Keys whose melodies keep falling, stumbling, trying to catch themselves. An ethereal voice unveils bottled-up thoughts. Enter into a small, intimate room. You may overhear a conversation from its corner. Do you think you have any grip on what's they're saying ?

Golden Rage captures the frustration of having your truth distorted by someone else & power struggle of ego. The loss of control over your own story, not being sure what the real version of the facts was. The weight of unspoken thoughts and longing for honesty.

Golden Rage

Lolā is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from Lausanne, Switzerland. Her indie-soft-folk sound, infused with lo-fi textures, is carried by a delicate, crystalline voice.
She learned the piano as a child before shifting her focus on singing and teaching herself guitar at the age of 19. After releasing two debut singles in quick succession (Rewind, selected for RTS /SRF RADAR in Jan. 2024., and Perks of Living), she wrote and recorded an album, set to drop March 21th.
The songs living on it are an exploration of the emotions that lodge beneath the plexus and sometimes make the attic floor creak. While navigating through her intimate world, you may want to close your eyes and let yourself be swept away by a melancholy current, where soft vocal melodies converse with a bewitched, unexpected guitar. In this space, time seems to pause, offering a moment to breathe amidst life’s relentless pace.
