FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The East Coast hip hop crew known as
Lo.Lux have released their latest LP record album, “Avino.” The
album is comprised of 13 original tracks for an approximate total
listening time of 40 minutes. “Avino” is the first LP record to
appear on the official Lo.Lux website, and represents their most
significant official release since their “Mario” EP, preceded by
a collection of seven mixes simply titled, “Instrumentals.”
Lo.Lux cite as main artistic influences
the Wu-Tang Clan, Clipse, Kanye West, Nas, and the Three6Mafia. With
hooks like Wu-Tang's and rhymes like Kanye's early material, Lo.Lux
have already proven themselves to be strikingly creative writers and
remarkably intuitive producers of hip hop music. Tracks on “Avino”
such as the unstoppable third track, “456,” have a panache that
is all their own.
Lo.Lux's mixes on the “Avino” LP
show a wide variety of styles. From the old-school, live-drums groove
of “The South” (Track 5) to the 808s and 909s sound of “Game of
Thrones” and “Experimental” (Tracks 7, 8) to the more complex
and electronic tones of “Fear” and “Bands 'n' Girls” (Tracks
8, 13), Lo.Lux's music has a little something from nearly every area
of hip hop and drum 'n' bass, and from other genres of music as well.
Asked to comment on the themes inherent
on “Avino,” Lo.Lux write simply that, “It's OK to question
yourself sometimes…”
Nevertheless, few questions remain
after a complete listen of “Avino.” Stylish, crisp and cool, the
album manages to be both intelligent and relaxed, cruising yet
declarative. A record capable of intriguing both the casual listener
and the dedicated audiophile, Lo.Lux's “Avino” can be listened to
in nearly every conceivable circumstance, but lends itself especially
to a mellow atmosphere where its subtleties can be enjoyed without
raucous interruption.
“Avino” by Lo.Lux is available
online worldwide (links provided below). Get in early.
