We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of pg.lost‘s live studio of the band performing two of their songs off their new album Versus – “Ikaros” and “Off The Beaten Path” (watch it below). Versus is out now through Pelagic Records, and is available for purchase here: CD | Vinyl | Bundle
The sound of pg.lost is throbbing with great melancholy, but there’s also a certain element of dirty rock ‘n’ roll found deep within, as in the crushingly heavy closing section of monumental opening track “Ikaros,” in the distorted bass line kicking off the second movement, “Off The Beaten Path,” or in the huge roomy drum sound in general.
The band bought their own studio just before the recordings of Versus, which made the recording process both easier and more difficult. “It’s easy to play around too much when you don’t have studio time that is costing money,” comments guitarist Gustav Almberg. Additionally, the effect-saturated vocals, which were a trademark on previous pg.lost releases, have disappeared on Versus, and given way to more keys and synths. “Kristian was in the middle of heavy touring with Cult Of Luna playing keys every day during that time, so he had a lot of synth-based ideas for songs. I guess this has helped us to take the band into a bit of a new direction sound wise.”
pg.lost will be supporting Alcest and Mono on select dates of their their European co-headlining tour. See all confirmed pg.lost shows below.
