Lussuria Three Knocks Silver Vinyl Edition

Definitive Hospital Productions artist Jim Mroz aka Lussuria follows duties on Prurient’s ‘Rainbow Mirror’ LP and and appearance on Vatican Shadow’s ‘Berghain 09’ mix/compilation with a new opus worthy of comparison to his dank ambient classics, ‘American Babylon’ [2012] and ‘Industriale Illuminato’ [2014]. In the foreboding ‘Three Knocks’ Lussuria limns an unconscious, near-death experience based on a tale told by his mother, who was admitted to ER after an allergic reaction escalated into something inexplicable. She was put in a medically induced coma and administered a breathing tube. When under the effect of heavy sedatives, she spoke of a visit by angels who warned of an impending disaster. She eventually came around, and recounted that her illness was preceded by three knocks at her office door, slow and heavy - proposing that each knock was a mockery of the Holy Trinity; one knock for each crucifixion - but when she answered nobody was there. This omen, and its confirmatory hallucination form the basis of Lussuria’s utterly absorbing new album.
