‘Languid Haunt the Trees’ is Lol K’s first release with label 33-33 and 2nd full length album following on from ‘climbing/holding/falling’ (2024, Halcyon Veil)
And EPs ‘The Breeze’ (2020 Halcyon Veil) and ‘Born Under a Bad One’ (2018, CURL)

Continuing an exploration into the sonic worlds of experimental South London nightclubs, the two members of Lol K (Junior XL + CJ Calderwood) extract textures more commonly associated with dancefloors and reimagine them against a backdrop of dark acoustic and orchestral instrumentation creating a nuanced and singular album that draws on disparate sources to play with and deconstruct traditional ideas of track structure, melody and genre.

‘Languid Haunt the Trees’ consists of 10 tracks that speak to concealment, the subterranean, the afterlife and mediumship.

Guiding the listener through a world haunted by omen, restless poltergeists and activated by psychic ritual and illicit nocturnal sexuality, Lol K have crafted an intimate album that is simultaneously filled with unorthodox ear worms and deep listening textures.

Across a spectrum of manipulated and warped instrumentation, familiar acoustic sounds become time-stretched and bent into complex dreamlike electronic compositions.

Appearing as the only feature on the album, feeo provides interlocking vocals with Calderwood on the track ‘Running and Jumping’ which is set to release as the second single from the album.
This track consists of large string arrangements, autotuned theremin and the two vocalists dramatically locked in an operatic breakup.

Elsewhere across the album CJ Calderwood and Junior XL exchange vocal duties in playful autotuned mumbles and shadowy spoken word.
