Ten years after the collab EP "Helio x GLK" saw The Gaslamp Killer chop up and remix songs The Heliocentrics, the DJ and the band are back with a new album proper "Legna". Released by GLK's Cuss Records, the record sounds like a natural continuation of the excellent "Heart Math" from 2020. Psychedelia, obscure library moods, hip-hop breaks and rock jam-like vibe all blend into one cohesive trip that "Legna" offers. Bonkers.

10 years after its premiere on Gaslamp Killer's debut album "Breakthrough", my absolute favourite track from the LP gets a 7" vinyl treatment from the man himself. Written and composed alongside Turkish lute maverick Amir Yaghmai, "Nissim" is four minutes and thirty one seconds of psych-folk beatmaking that work like a snakecharmer on its listener. Cult classic. The B-side is the live version of the song, pulled from "The Gaslamp Killer Experience: Live In Los Angeles". I'd jump on this if it wasn't for the price (and shipping). The vinyl looks incredible though, with sick art by Alejandro Sordi. You can order the record in two colour versions (both limited to 500 copies) here.
