Setting the tone with an enigmatic single note key crescendo, followed by immersive and haunting, panning vocal textures and a bold bell chime, Lolita Terrorist Sounds open Curse with subversion and darkness.
The opus expands with a breath into a vibrant alternative rock, guitar-driven soundscape with rolling and dimensional drums, we are hypnotized.
Lolita Terrorist Sounds summons celestial bodies with the chant-esque delivery of the lyrics, “Energy of Jupiter, energy of the Earth, energy of Saturn, moon and stars”, as we are taken on an avant-garde adventure through the cosmos.
We appreciate the depth of the lyricism, which is thought provoking and experimental, surprisingly lighter and more affirmation-based than the concept or soundscape of the song. We love this juxtaposition.
As our protagonist sings of prosperity and glory, Lolita Terrorist Sounds manifests expansion, whilst channelling their energy cathartically into a darker sonic dimension.
Curse was released on September 9 during the weekend of the harvest full moon in Pisces. Lolita Terrorist Sounds confesses, “Curse is a tribal ritualist song summoning upon planets, stars, and moons for rituals of prosperity and wealth.”
The band’s recommendation for listening to the abstract opus? “Get ready to light the best incense you have and play the new Lolita Terrorist Sounds single to the maximum volume during the next full moon.”
Curse come with a video clip shot in Super8 on a warm summer night in South Italy and inspired by the folk middle-age Arabic tales of One Thousand and One Nights.
Lolita Terrorist Sounds is a Berlin-based avant-garde band founded by Maurizio Vitale. The name is a provocative combination of Nabokov’s novel title “Lolita”, and adding the challenging perception of the word “Terrorist”. Both were generated using the W. Burroughs cut-up technique and adding to it the word “Sounds” to best describe the groundbreaking nature of the band’s compositions and performances.
We have added Curse to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and will be streaming the affirming anthem when we are inclined to manifest abundance!
