A CONVERSATION WITH LØLØ

Atwood Journal: Hey LØLØ! The final time I lined your music for Atwood was a couple of 12 months in the past, once you had simply put out the music ”u flip me on (however u give me despair).” How would you summarize what you’ve got been as much as since then, within the studio and in any other case?

LØLØ: One 12 months later, I’d say I’m older, however not wiser (laughs). However I’ve positively skilled rather a lot since then – my first (and second) European excursions, I performed Lollapalooza and a bunch of different actually sick festivals. I met and sung with a few my idols. I truly lived out a variety of objectives that I had, in order that’s been superior. Within the studio now, I really feel like I’m making my favourite songs I’ve ever made to this point! And I’m engaged on an album, which is so enjoyable.

How did you go about scripting this new music? Is there something that the assertion ”there aren’t any sizzling ladies in hell” implies extra broadly?

LØLØ: The primary verse was written alone in my mattress in LA — it was principally simply me rambling on, recording my stream of consciousness with a voice notice. I then took that concept to a writing session in Nashville with Mike Robinson and Marisa Maino, and the remainder is historical past! Saying “I hope there’s no sizzling ladies in hell” means —”You have been so evil to me, I do know for a reality that you simply’re going to hell. And once you do get to hell, I hope there aren’t any sizzling ladies so that you can f***. I hope you celibately endure there.”

The press launch describes this music as one that mixes each fragility and energy. What did it take so that you can get that stability to the place you needed it to be?

LØLØ: Funnily sufficient— I don’t know if I might have finished it if I had truly tried to. Principally, what occurred is I wrote the primary half once I was very, very unhappy— too unhappy to complete the remainder of the music I used to be attempting to write down. I wrote the second half once I was very, very mad, just a few weeks later. After which we put them collectively. So, we ended up with a really genuine emotional curler coaster. I believe it’s fairly correct on how a breakup often goes— one second, you’re feeling like a pathetic loser, and the following, you’re simply mad and need they have been useless lol. I’m actually proud of the way it turned out.

Because the music progresses, it contains a distinct distinction of feelings in relation to the devices. How did you handle to realize that consequence by way of the manufacturing of this monitor?

That is the third single you’ve got put out this 12 months. Thematically/musically, is there any widespread thread between these singles?

LØLØ: “5,6,7,8” was extra of a stand alone single, so it doesn’t have something to do with any of the upcoming singles… BUT,  sure, “omg” and “sizzling ladies in hell” are sort of related in a method…which can make sense when my album comes out hehehe.

How have your dwell efficiency experiences gone recently? What are your hopes for the tour you are collaborating on this fall with Boys Like Women and State Champs?

LØLØ: I really feel like each time I carry out I simply get increasingly more comfy, so it simply will get higher and higher, so I’m SOOOO excited for the autumn tour. I’m additionally redesigning my whole present in the intervening time, so I’m tremendous stoked to carry out a brand new present for everybody who’s seen me up to now. I’ve toured with State Champs earlier than throughout Unhappy Summer time Fest, however we have been in a sprinter van, so we couldn’t actually dangle with them or any of the opposite bands a lot. This time, we’ll be in a tour bus, so I’m very stoked for some good hangs and to get to know everybody higher! Additionally, final time I toured the US it was peak COVID and I couldn’t meet any followers afterwards, so I’m VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD to assembly and hugging everybody this time! 🙂
