The artwork for the forthcoming album by the experimental collaborators gets animated
“Lucy & Aaron touts itself as the culmination of a decade-long stretch of mutual admiration, from two musicians who appear pointedly individualist in their approaches,” says Noel Gardner in his review of the forthcoming album by Lucrecia Dalt & Aaron Dilloway in The Wire 449. “Recorded in three locations across 2019 and 2020, Lucy & Aaron nails such a specific muggy mood that you could imagine it having been thrown down in one driven night.”
Colombian, Berlin based musician Dalt and Midwestern former Wolf Eyes member Dilloway started exchanging ideas after appearing on a bill together in Toronto, some time after their first meeting at a festival ten years ago. They finally started making music together when Dalt visited New York for a studio residency. “We crossed our signals,” says Dalt, “sometimes his affecting mine, or the other way around, we just wanted to make a fun, weird and inevitably emotive record that somehow captured so many things we love about music, to put oneself in character and go with the flow.”
This video was made by New York based artist and Wierd Records founder Pieter Schoolwerth. Lucy & Aaron is released by Dilloway's Hanson label on 13 July. Read Noel Gardner's review in full inside The Wire 449. Subscribers can also read the review in our online archive.
