‘Loss’ is LLNN‘s debut album and is out 24 June on Pelagic Records. You can buy a copy of ‘Loss’ by LLNN here.
LLNN describe themselves as ‘dark, heavy, post-apocalyptic’ – and they’re not far wrong. There’s a certain bleakness to their music that lends itself to a cinematic, post-apolocalyptic landscape, or indeed a grim and rainy Monday in June.
The band have only been around for a couple of years but they’ve made their intentions perfectly clear on this, their debut album. Their hardcore background is evident in the simplicity and absolute raging rawness of the tracks – recorded live in the studio – but something perhaps a little unexpected lurks beneath the surface. Ominous sounding synths slide in and and out of the mix, lending a whole other level of sinister creepiness to proceedings – and yet this added element doesn’t overload the raw energy of the songs.
The Copenhagen four-piece give us a little more insight to the album:
“The making of this album has been a creative joyride of watching a bunch of our favourite VHS ’80s sci-fi flicks and afterwards trying to get that mood and ‘visual’ feeling transferred into the sound of heavy and sludgy post-hardcore. We’re huge fans of the work of John Carpenter, Brad Fiedel and Vangelis to name a few.
‘Loss’ is about the loss of innocence and is lyrically meant to describe the transition from a naïve idealist to a solipsist nihilist. We were raised to believe in the good nature of people, an ideal we naively still hold on to for dear life, but growing up and watching the realities of life unfold in front of you, can be a soul sucking experience. It’s about the insurmountable immovable object that is the will of man and how utterly devastating it can be to witness at times.”
