Salami Rose Joe Louis announces new album Akousmatikous, shares two tracks

thefader.com:

Lindsay Olsen (Salami Rose Joe Louis) has announced a new album titled Akousmatikous. Due out May 19, it’s her third full-length release via Flying Lotus’ label, Brainfeeder, following 2019’s Zdenka 2080 and 2020’s Chapters of Zdenka.

Along with the news, the Bay area singer-songwriter-producer has shared the record’s title track, a collaboration with London space-jazz duo Soccer96, and a second single called “Propaganda,” featuring Toro y Moi percussionist Brijean.

Each of the new tracks are special in its own right, but the five-minute-plus “Akousmatikous” is a more notable departure for Olsen, who generally works in miniature.

Really, though, it’s two tracks in one: a drifting vessel that reaches a floating, unsteady standstill before exploding into an electrified passage of fusion perfection that finds Olsen singing semi-coherent lyrics in unison with an over-excited synth atop a hi-hat-heavy flurry of drum fills.
