Introducing: Lilacs and Champagne

8th Jan 2015

Instrumental psychedelic hip-hop hybrid Lilacs & Champagne spent their first two albums shining a light on the darkest corners of vintage European cinematic oddities. Their eponymous debut album and the follow-up, Danish & Blue, were warped, psychedelic takes on damaged funk and b-movie film scores.

With their palette now thoroughly smeared, coconspirators Emil Amos and Alex Hall are flirting with the makings of a masterpiece in new album ‘Midnight Features Vol. 2: Made Flesh’, out March 17.

You can check out the mournful opening breaths of “Roses & Kisses” below, skinning traditional hip-hop to its bones, then building it back up with the flesh of Eastern European private press psych records, obscure film soundtracks, indistinguishable radio broadcasts, library tapes, and who knows what else from who knows where else.
