about

We at Smalltown Supersound are happy to announce the new Lost Girls single "Ruins"!

This marks the first new Lost Girls music since the release of their acclaimed debut album Menneskekollektivet, which received a wealth of praise. Among others, it was deemed one of the year’s best releases by Pitchfork, The FADER, Brooklyn Vegan, Paste and FLOOD.

“Ruins” finds the duo immersing themselves in experimental rock, propelled by Volden's spiky guitars and framed by Hval’s inquisitive lyrics. She explains: “Håvard sent me this long, wonderful and kaleidoscopic bass line on top of a drum machine track that I had no clue what to do with — it felt too difficult to try to learn or tame it. I started improvising with it and moving parts around a bit, and the song began to feel like getting lost in a city at night, or a cemetery, walking around in circles, perhaps running, perhaps hiding. After improvising for a bit I realized that I was singing about this kind of pattern of movement, but as a band practice in the 90s, back when I first started playing with other people. If ‘Ruins’ is ‘about’ anything, it's about a practice of discovery, being young and lost and feeling as if you are close to something ancient and magical.”

everything is alive
by Slowdive

supported by 17 fans who also own “Ruins”

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
