Lolina (Inga Copeland) Live In Paris

This is Hype Williamsprovocateur,Inga Copeland’s 2nd release under theLolinamoniker, which is a live recording of her live A/V presentation for RBMA in Paris, 2015.She was framed by a multi-screen projection of a monopoly board, perhaps best taken as an allegory for London stereotypes as viewed from her insider-outsider position as an Estonian-Russian artist embedded in the city’s multi-textural, poly-cultural fabric, and as comment on its socio-economic merry-don’t-go-round.This soundtrack features a handful of tracks from her“Relaxin’ With Lolina”(2015) release, such as“Relaxx”and“Lolina”,plus“I Am Your Ambient Wife”from that Hyperdub ambient compilation. As far as we know, the rest are all unreleased, and include the piercing bongs of“Time In EU”, used as a similarly discomfiting signifier of Britihsness as Dean Blunt did on the Babyfather album, along with some plaggy Euro techno and a roll-call of LDN road names in“Chance”, whilst”Wheel Up My Tune”is a garish take on bashment, and our favourite,“The Logic”trades in a sort of discordant, lysergic psych sound. It’s definitely prickly stuff instead of easy listening.
