#Lolina: Origins

[alientoastt]

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

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

okay so if i recall correctly, this photo was taken after a lolina origins show. i recall reading the context behind this photo somewhere, tldr, from memory because i cannot recall 100%, tim and gang were going home after a show and tim, for some reason, decided to lay in the trash for this photo. i cant recall the source right now but i WILL get back to you

[alientoastt]

naturalness/unnaturalness in Lolina: Origins by R L Hughes

i could write a whole essay about this, but its almost finals, so this is what you're getting

[sparksandstarsandstories]

I am delighted to introduce an actual playlist I tried to make before I realized that most of what I needed wasn’t on spotify

I can't just listen to a new song I don't know outright I have to hide it in my regular playlist. Like when u give a dog a pill.

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
