Succeeding their ‘Rückenfigur’ EP release in January 2024 on Vienna-based imprint evo-natura, German-production duo Arigto return with their seven-track ‘Lukuss‘ LP.
‘Lukuss‘ delivers seven post-baroque idiosyncrasies. As a means to bridge the gap between spectral lifebloods and mortal reveries, Arigto navigates neoclassical mysticism, dark ambient, experimental and itinerant ripples of drone.
Our pick is ‘Lukuss‘ – a narrow crevice carved by cello strings ad-libs, fearful oscillations of drone arpeggios and outlandish noise sounds interrupted by resilient silence. For all cloaked-up mortals looking for an adventure in a dark courtyard near Haxan Cloak’s headquarters, this is the one for you.
‘Lukuss’ is scheduled for release on 12th April. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
