The heart-stopping, cinematic second single announcing the release of electro-acoustic trio LILAMORS’ debut album revolves around the figure of a ‘Slow Traveller’ and its struggle for inner peace and direction, amid the disturbing surroundings of modern life.
Melancholic, yet driving and powerful, this song might as well serve as a metaphor for the band’s own struggles in finding a new aesthetic ground while attempting to defy established genres and styles. With its delicate blend of acoustic and electronic instrumentation ‘Slow Traveller’ offers a mesmerising journey through a dynamic sound universe.
“This track really defines our sound, as it includes all of our individual influences, from Jazz to Electronica to poetry, probably because we were all so involved in the process of producing it”.
says Ana Čop, vocalist and front woman of the group
In blending contrasting influences into a new sound, LILAMORS have taken an important step, leading Jazz into new electro-acoustic territories.
LILAMORS’ debut album, titled ‘When I Am Dead, My Dearest’, is to be released June 30th 2023. The Basel-based band, led by Slovenian vocalist Ana Čop emerged from a duo collaboration with the German pianist Thilo Seevers. Together they released and album in 2020, comprising some unconventional takes on traditional Jazz repertoire (ACTS!, Klopotec). For this new project, sound artist Jaka Arh joined and helped the group to establish a forward-thinking aesthetic identity, building surrealist collages of stylistic and thematic contrasts. Dark and light, life and death, in the universe of LIILAMORS, it’s all one.
