Returning with not one but two new tracks, Bay Area-based musician, composer, and producer Salami Rose Joe Louis is back, not just with fresh tunes but news of her debut album for Brainfeeder.
The 22-track LP called ‘Zdenka 2080’ which arrives August 30th finds Louis drawing influence from a series of apocalyptic sci-fi novels by Octavia Butler and Gene Wolf.
Speaking about the novels she explains, “They inspired me to explore the realms of fantasy as a means of illuminating concepts and truths about our own society and humanity. I also was very inspired by the movies Tekkonkinkreet and Embrace of the Serpent – a beautiful exploration of capitalism, colonialism and greed.”
Zbenka 2080 continues where her eariler releases left off as Louis creates a soundscape that’s a patchwork of sweet vocals and lo-fi beats, sprinkled amongst the calming melodies that make up her outside-of-the-box sleepy jams.
