flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) Lou Kelly has proven himself to be one of the most innovative artists that you've never heard of. Mike Patton himself would be in awe of this madness. Lou has vomited forth a deluge of piano, brass, strings, and wind intruments backed by a whirlwind of technical drumming. Without an ounce of guitar, the result is every bit as heavy and aggressive as any mathcore album you could pull out of a hat.

Poesy Rider Toujours aussi barré et toujours aussi inspiré, Lou Kelly nous propose cette fois une sorte de musique zappaienne mixée avec Zu et autres influences déjantées...et dire que le prochain album ou EP n'aura peut-être rien à voir...Voilà qui est réjouissant ! Favorite track: Buzz.

Cyril Glaume Vous flippez, la sueur vous chatouille les tempes, mais vous ne pouvez pas essuyer ces satanés gouttelettes à cause de la camisole qu’on vous a mise par erreur parce que BORDEL VOUS N’ETES PAS FOU, ‘ PAS VOTRE FAUTE SI CETTE GIRAFE VOUS A MENACE AVEC UN TOURNEVIS THERMO-NUCLEAIRE, BORdel… Heureusement, Lou Kelly et son orchestre vous comprennent, eux.

about

This was my attempt at orchestrating anxiety.

Instrumental versions are included for those who don't find the sound of screams very pleasant.

Bit of trivia: the title of each track hints at what kind of melodic ensemble dominates the piece (strings, keyed instruments, winds, brass, etc). Bonus points to those who can guess which ensemble goes to what track.

If Levi from Mathcore Index is reading this - No, I didn't include any lyrics. I'm sorry.

released March 16, 2018

Instrumentals were haphazardly written/produced by Lou Kelly between March 2017 and February 2018.

I was too lazy to do vocals so I was fortunate enough to have some friends who generously donated some random vocal samples for me to edit and mangle to my heart's content. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

ALBUM ARTWORK:
The artwork is just a part of the famous right panel of the Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch's 'The Garden Of Earthly Delights'. Yes, I just slightly recolored the image and slapped a title on it. What's Bosch gonna do 'bout it? Sue me?

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
