Mélanie De Biasio announces new LP Lilies and shares lead single "Gold Junkies"

Belgian artist Mélanie De Biasio shares galloping psych jam "Gold Junkies" and announces new record Lilies.

The new album follows last year's Blackened Cities release and is heralded by immersive noise escapade "Gold Junkies". It's a whirling, twisted mesh of trance-inducing rhythms and tie-dyed '70s psychedelia, with post-punk seasoning scattered on the top and beautifully classy strands of voice and bass.

"For me, Lilies has a darkness, but it’s also luminous," says De Biasio. "After my experiences with [2014 album] No Deal and Blackened Cities, I just wanted to retreat to a cave with my Pro-Tools, my computer, and my cheap, 100Euro Shure SM-58 microphone. I could have gone to a big studio, made a big production - but I wanted none of that. I wanted to go back to the seed of creativity, the simplest materials. I was in this room where there was no light, no night or day at all, no heat. Very uncomfortable. But I felt free. I was happy to have this feeling - 'I don’t need more; I have everything I need here'."
