Debut Solo Release
Australia-born Los Angeles-based artist Luke C. presents 'T.O.M.B.', his debut solo release on his newly minted label Velvet Bikini.
The seven-track album is a gauzy, starry-eyed style of ambient electronics, embedded with melancholia and a touch of otherworldly psychedelia. A soundtrack to a generation lost, endlessly searching the streets of a sun-drenched, neon-lit city. 'T.O.M.B.' will be pressed on limited-edition vinyl.
The bulk of T.O.M.B. was recorded at Luke C.'s home studio in LA over the last 12 months and put together with various sources-MicroKorg, voice, sampled records, treated field recordings, resampled synths-to create the noir-ish atmosphere present across the LP, one that takes the listener through the depths of the psyche and the neon-lit corners of the city in which it was recorded.
Iranian-American artist Kamran Sadeghi mastered the entirety of the LP, known for his recent album on Richard Chartier's LINE imprint and his work as a key member of Soundwalk Collective.
