All first take Snaithilicious guitars, I don't like to overpolish, as you'll have realised by now. I could barely tame the beast on this. 
This is the song that I was subconsciously channeling when I played this  (they're my heroes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiJVac8bCH8
Because Dolll lives in Vegas we thought an Elvis song would be appropriate. Dare we say that neither of us are particularly Elvis fans, although we respect his impact and his status as an icon. That's why we've done this far superior version (hahaha all you Elvis fans chomping at the bit!) of the  Otis Blackwell and Elvis's song (although we suspect that Elvis didn't write any of it). Viva Las Vegas!  PLAY VERY LOUD!

Mastered and produced by Lolodemo. 
Began as a jam which then sprouted. Put down all the tracks and then gave it to Lola to weave her magic touch. Helped me out to get the most out of the track.

This is a mix of punk, rock, metal and dance. Yup. Sampled in vocals from the live solo version of Outta Nowhere.

Love Just Killed Me

Witten by Lou Reed in 1968.
There’s some David Bowie in there as well.

White light - White light goin' messin' up my mind
White light - White light really making me go blind
White heat - White heat tickle me way down to my toes
White light - White light gonna kill me goodness knows

White light - White light gonna go straight to my eyes
White light - White light gonna fill me up with surprise
White heat - White heat goin' straight way into my brain
White light - White light messin' drivin’ me insane

Hmm hmm - White light 
Hmm hmm - White light 
Hmm hmm - White heat
Here she comes now
Hmm hmm - White light 

White light - White light goin' messin' up my mind
White light - White light really making me go blind
White heat - White heat goin' straight for my brain
White light - White light really drivin’ me insane

White light - White light make me sound like Lou Reed
White light - White light gonna fill my every need
White heat - White heat gonna fill me up with surprise
White light - White light killing me before your eyes

Hmm hmm - White light

mOag - white light white heat [the Velvet UndergrOund cOver]

It's a been a while and I've been mute on Soundcloud.  Frankly the response to my last piece blew me away and honestly I put so much into that Elégie it was very hard to do something else.  

In the end I stopped trying to force music and sat down and just played and this came out.  

I just finished getting my studio out of boxes and I've been gigging very heavily at the moment.  My hands are in poor condition as a result, hence the title.  This is the sound of my Guitarviol on it's own.  Some of you asked to hear it solo so here it is.  

This was improvised with in two takes (I took a short break as I'm in agony, sympathies please!).   

I recorded it with two new microphones - a wide diaphragm condenser and a ribbon microphone.  The mix has been astounding in terms of the sound. 


Picture - This was hanging up in Erfurt Cathedral.  Colours are quite vivid in real life considering it's older than most countries.

jsais pas comment tu marches, jdois être passable 
le soir jrecompte le fric, j'ai l'impression d'être bon qu'à ça 
jsais que dans ta tête c'est le bazar
c'est bizarre on s'est pas concerté 
jsuis débile et jcomprend rien décalage avec tes mœurs
c'est facile mais j'écoute rien et j'apprend pas de mes erreurs
ma princesse est fatiguée jveux juste lui offrir une fleur moi
et jvois pas le temps on est assis 
c'est sur un banc que je passe mon samedi 
jrepense à toi et je sur analyse
au fond tu sais pas tout ce qui est écrit 
donc nique sa mère le double moi jveux le triple 
jbroie du noir toute la week
si je fais tout ça c'est pour combler le vide 
au fond c'est ça jveux juste combler le vide

c'est sans espoirs 
mais je crois que je n'ai que ça 
pour éviter la lune 
on se parle le soir 
mais c'est pas trop ça 
donc j'évite d'en faire plus
jveux pas que tu me voies 
comme un énième shlag 
qui voudrait catch le bus 
moi jsuis pas comme ça 
enfin c'est ce que je crois

jai un mémoire à rédiger moi à la base des bases

נאחז בסבך עם הקרניים בתוך גדר דשל תיל התעיף עיניך בי ואינני 

ספח חמתך

Feel

The Music Video

Feel (video on youtube)

The title track of this release was inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. We hear of the feats of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, but there was a third man on that mission that is often left out of the narrative. Michael Collins was tasked with piloting the command module "Columbia" as it orbited the moon awaiting the return of the "Eagle" from the lunar surface. Newspapers at the time referred to Collins as the "loneliest man in the universe," but interviews with the man himself reveal an experience of solitude that was anything but lonely. He rejected the title and described the immense feeling of gratitude and awe that fell upon him as he circled the moon. We were enamored by the depth of this experience of wonder and made an attempt to capture something of it through a song that is primarily an appeal to the Greek god Apollo for his aid in space travel.

We hope you enjoy this as well as the other two tracks on this release. If you are interested in seeing what else we are up to, please check out our youtube channel, where, among other things, we take harpsichords to places they shouldn't be and play songs they shouldn't play.

The Wanderer and the Outcast

dispatch from lockdown city

Thank you Jenny and Kim for lending me your sweet voices :) :) xx

Do you receive what they say ?
Would you believe it all anyway ?
Through those eyes, do you realize 
it’s me ?

Do you receive what they say ?
They say it’ never all pink, all grey
Colour-blind, help me please to find
it’s me...

You take it, don’t choose it
You learn how to use it
You try not to lose it

Do  different stories bloom ?
In that mind, do you walk from this room ?
Tell me the tale of the blue whale
it’s me


Sweet darling Seventeen
were you keen, did you have youthful dreams
or did you think that this life would stink
it’s me

You take it, don’t choose it
You learn how to use it
You try not to lose it

One spark outrun
There goes the sun
Now things are done
Let’s all go and have some fun

Do you receive what they say ?
They say it’s never all pink, all grey
They I guess, most surely know less
than me

mOag - it's me

PREPARED

This track was edited from Lockdown Collaboration 1, recorded live at home on the 18th April 2020, exclusively using the wonderful music of @idin-samimi-mofakham and his partner @martyna-kosecka as source material. 

This was quite early on in Lockdown, when angst and worry seemed at its peak, so perhaps unsurprisingly, the piece has come out quite dark and ominous (though not as dark and scary as Hell Hath No Fury, which immediately precedes it!).

halF technologY [disquiet0465]

[more or less] acoustic 
covers of songs I love
and revisits of songs I made.

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.
