Lutalo has shared “The Bed” and “Broken Twin,” two new the artist’s debut album The Academy, available September 20th via Winspear. Lutalo kicks off his tour on August 17th at the Green Man Festival in Crickhowell, UK.
“The Bed” is warmly strummed folk rock in the vein of Moses Sumney or Bob Dylan at their most jumped up. Of the track, Lutalo says, “is about being educated about American propaganda and war mongering at a young age from my father.” They continue: “’The Bed’ is referencing how as citizens of the country we have no choice but participate whether directly or indirectly with the dealings of our state, and to be indoctrinated into this mindset that supports its current standing.”
Meanwhile “Broken Twin” is a swaggering and moodily anthemic track that invokes the dusky atmosphere of King Krule as it wrestles with “roughly, the 3rd dimension” and “the friction of opposing forces.”
As Lutalo elaborates: “Everything in this universe is having a reaction or response to something or even nothingness. An even more simplified representation being the sine wave, that makes up all forms of atomic structures at different frequencies. In all, this song covers an understanding of self and other…a conscious reminder that as humans we complicate something that can be simple.”
