Lol K
Lol K are the South London duo of artist and musician CJ Calderwood – part of Good Sad Happy Bad – and DJ and producer Junior XL. Among the vast sources they draw from in their songcraft are genres as diverse as post classical, grunge, and contemporary club music. Their highly varied output maintains focus by continually seeking to connect multiple – seemingly distant – sonic worlds. On last year’s climbing/holding/falling on label Halcyon Veil, the duo developed upon the morphing, bass-heavy sounds of their earlier EPs (The Breeze and Born Under a Bad One), expanding on their worldbuilding through greater lyrical expression, while still delivering a diverse selection of instrumentation utilising flutes, saxophone, and warped pianos. In Lol K’s „genreless“ live set, Jersey kicks clash against doom-laden atmospherics, soaring string sections, and detuned riffs. The duo is working on a new album that will be released this autumn on 33-33.
