- first album -
Monochromic pop
full of golden memories
where modern drums and string quartet
paint landscapes
L'Or dans les souvenirs
LORDLS' first LP will be released on September 20th, 2024 at L'Entrepôt in Arlon.
This concept album is built around 8 pop songs about the steelmaking past
of the Greater Region as a guiding thread.
Throughout his catchy tunes, LORDLS displays remarkable songwriting skills, penning
French lyrics encapsulated in modern poetry and melodies full of personal
landscapes.
The sound aesthetics are defined with a shattering musical arrangement of Roland
Wiltgen (Esch Music Conservatory's retired teacher) for a string quartet and brass,
as well as LORDLS new-fashioned trap beats on e-drums.
Icing on the vinyl record, the Belgian poets, Sabine Caprasse and Marie Derley,
wrote the lyrics of the 1st and final track ; and Julien Primout Luxembourg-based
Freshdax's rapper, blended Luxembourgish and French lyrics to sublime the single
Géigeliicht.
The sound was captured at the prestigious ICP Studios in Brussels and mixed in Liège at Le Chênée Palace by Lucas Serruya and masterised by Miloud Sassi at dbMasterpro. The cover was designed by Simone Curzi, and the silver photographs were taken by Michaël Latran.
October 26th, 2024 marks the release of a documentary film by Document Agency that chronicles the creation process of the LP.
