...the darker layers of emotion...The feel of the track and the pic. led me to believe that there was also a junkie being portrayed in that skin

One day the world will catch up with you.  Awesome as usual...

A quirky little number!  This is the first initial trial instrumental mix for our new song Mirrors.  There's a way to go yet but we're working on it... :)

Mirrors

Magic ?

Title Track of the Second Skin album released in April 2025.
Lola Demo’s Second Skin, released in April 2025, is a raw and unapologetic 17-track album that dives deep into the darker layers of emotion, identity, and survival. Blending goth, alternative rock, and dark electronica, the record carries a visceral intensity that feels both intimate and defiant. Written, performed, and produced by Lola Demo herself in a home-studio setting, Second Skin exposes the fragile and fierce sides of human experience — from betrayal and manipulation to healing and reclamation. Tracks like “He Gets Away With Murder,” “Fractured Mind,” and the haunting title song embody a deeply confessional energy, where atmospheric soundscapes and jagged beats collide with honest, wounded vocals. It’s not a polished mainstream release but a deeply personal exploration of strength through vulnerability — an album that resonates with anyone who’s had to rebuild from the inside out.

Metalically Speaking

Cast of Characters:
Single Use & Recycled -- @user-995867230 -- Bill — acousitc rhythm and lead guitar and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums and percussion
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth strings
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — acoustic rhythm guitar, production, mix, and mastering
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

This song started as an idea Bill came up with on his acoustic guitar. Having found each other on the Cloud and enjoying each other's music, Josh and Bill decided to do a collab. Bill is a real deal guitarist, who's as prolific as he is skilled. Of course, Josh invited Eclectic Collective to the party, too.
  Shortly after doing so, he laid down a bass part to Bill's skeleton withi his four string fretless bass. Ken followed suit, and after a back and forth, completed the rhythms secion. JJ dug in next, adding the thrilling strings that highlight the high points of the melody. 
  There wasn't a whole lot of room for everyone on this, though, as Bill had the guitar parts nailed down tight. However, after sitting on the shelf for about half a year, Carl came along and added the missing piece with his raucuos vocals. Stephen also fattened up the sound a bit with his acoustic rhythm guitar.  
  Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to work his production, mix, and mastering magic on it, too, which he came through with, as always.
  This brilliant song almost didn't see the light of day. It sat for what felt like forever, until we decided to revive it. This will not be the last collab we do with Bill, though, who was generous in not only sharing his music with us, but allowing us to do whatever we wanted with it, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Shifty shire
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
Gerry's meandering
Not thinking of sane
What colourful friends can stop red rain?

With freedom waning
Conversation is paused
A few rich men failing
With solidarity cause
Shift the shire!
At minority we've baulked
That mind inconvenient
New red lines are chalked

State turf wars are on
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
For the rights of the white man
We missing those slaves
So legislate oppression
That skin 'aint red way

Shire (Eclectic Collective with Single Use & Recycled)

In the velvety night
As stars collide….

I hear your song
It brings my body to life
I feel your rhythm
... a celestial call

I’m drawn to you
As helpless as a moth
To a flickering beam of light
Like a spaceship…
Blasting….
From the earth’s atmosphere
Feel this gravity
Raise auditory desire
We’re dancing on the edge
Of a cosmic crime
Your touch on the deck
It ignites the dance floor
Like a supernova’s fire

My heart is lost
In musical desire

Feel the rhythm
Our bodies sway
Like 2 planets colliding
In one celestial wave

Our love’s the music
That echos through our space
A symphony of passion
That won’t go astray

Our love becomes the music
That echos throughout space
A symphony of passion
That won’t... go... astray

Blast off
Last flight from Mars
In the cosmic night
Where beats align
In the cosmic night
Where we are all one

DJ
I’ll save my soul for you
Forever entwined
In an infinite journey
An intoxicating aurore
Of heavenly harmony

It’s only in these moments
When I feel alive
When I feel alive
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

You’re my shining star
Your music is love

Last Flight From Mars

Toujours la même quête d'un ailleurs plus exaltant.

Wasnt My Destiny

Lola Demo is a force to be reckoned with. Her music is a raw, unfiltered dive into the heart of alternative soundscapes.
Hailing from the eclectic underground scene, Lola Demo has carved out a niche that's entirely her own. With a background that defies convention, her journey through the musical realms is anything but ordinary.
Starting with the brooding tones of goth and alt-rock, Lola Demo has evolved her sound into something that transcends genres. She has previously fronted the goth band Ape the Cry (Melb AUS), rocked out with the alt-rock band Hard Candy (Melb AUS), and explored dark electronica with British musician/producer Barry Snaith in their duo, M1NK.
Now splitting her creative energy between Athens, Greece, and the idyllic island of Ithaca, Lola Demo writes and records in her mobile studio, Strudel Girl. Her commitment to her craft is unwavering, aiming to release a new album or EP at least once a year. Her music marries grungy garage grit with hauntingly beautiful melodies, crafting songs that are as biting as they are melancholic.
Lola Demo's lyrics are a journey unto themselves - sharp, stinging, and unapologetically far from the pop mainstream. She thrives on the fringes. She lives for the edge. With influences spanning the entire spectrum of sound, Lola Demo is not just an artist; she's a sonic alchemist. 
Lola Demo is looking deep into your darkness and eternal fears by releasing hers.
