Lolina - Smoke
Formerly known as Inga Copeland, and she was one half of lo-fi weirdo-pop duo Hype Williams (alongside Dean Blunt). Her Lolina project is all about songs that dissolve into bare-bones, stretched-out synth-and-vocal drafts bearing half-cooked traces of club tropes.
Lolina reviewed
“Listening to The Smoke is like hearing a voice trying to locate itself in an unstable environment, rubbing up against strange synth textures, asymmetrical beats, and jagged melodic phrases. Like her contemporaries Klein, Mhysa, and Jenny Hval, Lolina challenges ingrained assumptions about what songs are and what they can do, dragging her listeners through an exhilarating funhouse of sound. Because women are often presumed to make inherently confessional, diaristic music, it’s a thrill to hear a voice like Lolina’s get tangled up in songs that can’t be tied to anyone’s personal life, hers or otherwise.” (Pitchfork Review by Sasha Geffen)
