hey are you a mechanisms enjoyer or perhaps a fan of the new albion tetralogy
have you ever wanted to hear R L Hughes' full vocal range as she plays two characters often in the same song as one another? Tim Ledsam as a morally repugnant but slightly sexy priest? an exploration of religious guilt around sex and where a sex worker gets a happy ending that doesn't involve no longer having sex? heavy fucking themes and jazzy instrumentals? you should listen to Lolina: Origins.
With a mish-mash of jazz, rock, classical and electronic music this concept EP tells the story of our heroine Lolina as she is taken from the brothels of dystopian Mars to the wastelands of post-apocalyptic Earth and beyond...
Vocals
Lolina and Mariella: Rachel Hughes
The Patriarch: Tim Ledsam
OrganaTech Doctor: Jessica Law
Backing Vocals: Jessica Law, Ben Below, Rachel Hughes
Spoken Vocals: Tim Ledsam, Ben Below, Rachel Hughes
Instruments
Piano and E-Piano: Rachel Hughes
Violin and Electric Violin: Marius von Raum [sic.; released in 2017 and Kofi Young was credited as MvR until... I want to say 2020?]
Fretless Bass, Electric Guitars, Banjo, Saxophone, Ewi, Electric Drums, Synths: Ben Below
content warnings under the cut this album is a lot. but its very good
religious guilt / extremism / kidnapping / forced conversion
yeah quite a lot of it is about the whole uh. this congregation treats its women like shit and especially Lolina. I think it's handled well and there's an added layer of removal in the fact that it's like. on Mars. if that helps
a character kills herself because she realizes she has feelings for another woman and has been made to feel unclean for this. this is pretty much entirely contained in "Mariella's Lament", but is like. pretty integral to the story at play
hospital noises in Hospital Bed + medical malpractice. which isn't quite the right word for the deal with healthcare in this album but it's the best i can do without just Describing What Happens In The Album. general cyberpunk "you don't own parts of your body" type medical malpractice?

Sin from Lolina by R L Hughes
Hellfire from High Noon Over Camelot by the Mechanisms
Did I make this post because I have been listening to Sin on loop? Maybe.

From when I first saw you, I was drawn to you
Could see in your eyes there was more to you
Surrounded by sin, your soul lost in the dark
I'll take you from here, put you on to God's path
God's love can purify you
Cleanse the sin that is inside you
God's love can purify you
Fix the defect deep inside you
Fix the defect deep inside
She is a sinner, but God's love can save her
I've seen something pure in her eyes
But they say that's she's immortal to the core
She is the devil's whore
She will bring sickness, with sin she will blight us
Temptation she brings to their minds
I thought that God's love could make her clean
But she cannot be redeemed
Forever broken, by Him she's forsaken
And He has decreed she must die
She is a sinner, and God's love can't save her
Although I wish it were a lie
I can't understand the way she makes me feel
This emotion can't be real
My heart, I adore her, unnatural lust for her
The truth I can no longer deny
Inside of me, there is this fatal flaw
A perversion to my core
Forever broken, by Him I'm forsaken
God sees my defect inside
I am a sinner, and God's love can't save me
I know now that I must die
I am a sinner, and God's love can't save me
I know now that I must die
God's love can't purify me
There's a defect deep inside me
I am a sinner, and God's love can't save me
I know now that I must die
God's love can purify me
There's a defect deep inside me
I am a sinner, and God's love can't save me
I know now that I must die
I must die, I must die
btw. if you even care

cuál es tu restaurante favorito? y tu tienda de ropa favorita? (es que ayer fui al super y a comprarme una falda y no se me ocurre nada más que preguntar 😂)
agdkdhdldhfk no me puedes hacer esto, tengo como mil restaurantes apuntados, te voy a decir 3
un restaurante ridículamente pijo al lado del Bernabéu llamado Midtown porque tienen happy hour y para ser la cumbre del pijerio e insoportable durante los partidos, se come demasiado bien
un restaurante vegano llamado superchulo que antes estaba en el barrio de bilbao pero lo han puesto ahora en la calle fuencarral (se incendió el local original el verano pasado y lloré mucho), la chica que lo creó era mi mayor fuente de comfort durante la pandemia porque compartía algunas de las recetas del restaurante
un running sushi en el metro de Gregorio Marañón llamado Kintaro que han remodelado recientemente, pero lleva ahí AÑOS y con todo y con que no tenían nada de redes sociales siempre estaba petado PORQUE ES ASI DE BUENO
bonus: el bar que me queda cerca de casa, la dueña es una señora dominicana que adoro con toda mi alma, voy ahí con dos amigos que viven cerca cada viernes a tomarnos una copa; llevé al resto de los amigos que vinieron por mi cumpleaños y la señora me puso la canción de cumpleaños de venezuela 🥹 si vienes a madrid algún día de estos te digo el nombre pero me queda súper cerca así que a lo mejor no en ask shdkdhdl
Y no tengo una tienda de ropa favorita creo... Soy fan de los chinos como Luna, porque siempre encuentras cositas (justo me compré una falda ahí hace un par de días que viene con shorts y la amo) y tiendas como el Already o el Crazydays (outlets de tiendas varias). Mis ultimas botas han sido del moda re (Inditex pero para caritas) y han salido bastante bien... A parte de eso, le tengo un amor infinito a la compañía fantástica y a lolina
ask me anything you feel like
