Lolina

After notable stints as Inga Copeland and Hype Williams (the latter with Dean Blunt), Alina Astrova once again brandishes her signature Baudelairean hybrid of pop and stripped-down techno as Lolina. Recent EP ‘The Smoke’ offers a strange intersection of eerie moods, morbid humor, and playful sensuality. The more elusive Lolina’s music gets, the more magnetic, a strange contradiction that only makes sense when you witness her perform with everyday equipment like a Dictaphone, a CDJ, an iPod Shuffle and a digital camera.
