“Demons” is the logical progression from the minimalistic lo-fi darkwave sound crafted on the highly praised previous album “Loveless Adventures”, but on this one you can expect even more of this desperate and introspective display, dwelling into the darker dystopian side of up-to-date electronic sounds from European underground clubs and sweaty stroboscopic flash dance floors. Both restless and intimate, “Demons” brings eleven personal hymns full of icy synth lines, rubbery bass punches along with minimal wave drum beats that are all accompanied by desperate and warm cry out of his vocal manoeuvres.
The third full length album and the most ambitious artistic output in Neon Lies’ / Goran Lautar’s discography is the result of one year making and relentless touring: a perfect blend of the minimalistic lo-fi darkwave sound of Neon Lies’ early stages – back when he was revisiting his teenage crush for early minimal synth punk and proto-industrial, and the second album, when he was more into exploring experimentation with repetition, noise, electro and up to date sounds and ideas from European underground dance floors. “Loveless Adventures” releases on multiple formats: Wave Tension Records, Cut Surface, Cosmic Brood and Black Verb Records teamed up for the 12” vinyl, while cd and tape are released on Periphylla and Mental Healing, respectively. Neon Lies is solo darkwave/minimal synth project of Goran Lautar from Zagreb, Croatia. ”Visitors” was commissioned for the MVP Project. The awesome new single from Neon Lies, “Visitors” is a haunting, slow burner: The songs’ trajectory sketching the arc between losing and healing. The track builds up from a sparse beginning with an almost palpable sense of desolation, capturing the true essence and black heart of one of Post-Punks most hard working and creative artists. “Minimum Viable Product” (MVP) is an incremental Compilation to be built over the year by Detonic Recordings. Each Month an on-line single will be published with an “A” and “B” side from each of the international artists participating in the project..At the end of the year the complete compilation (Vinyl and CD) will be released featuring the exclusive tracks from each contributor. Neon Lies is a solo project of Goran Lautar, frontman of distopian post punkers Modern Delusion (Doomtown Records) Started in 2015 as lo fi minimal synth project, recorded and performed on vintage tape 4-track machine and cheep flea market keyboards. |
