Lushlife Announce 'Redamancy' EP Deluxe Edition + Ltd Edition 180G Red Translucent VinylDeluxe Edition EP Out Now on All DSPS + Limited Edition 180G Red Translucent Vinyl via Fortune TellersRead the Backseat Mafia FeatureOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Tell All Your Friends PR DELUXE EDITION FEATURES: PURCHASE & SHARE: Redamancy (Deluxe Edition) Vinyl "Redamancy is a truly thrilling listen for those looking for a break from the typical rap game." "Funky, fresh-faced" "Lushlife has always been a strong rapper, and that comes through on Redamancy [...] A fascinating ride" REDAMANCY Redamancy (n.) The act of loving in return. Redamancy is distinguished from most of the other words about love in that it is one of the few that specifies reciprocity. Raj Haldar (rapper-producer Lushlife) has had a strange and storied career on the edges of hip-hop and indie music over the last decade. Starting with Cassette City in 2009, he released three critically-acclaimed albums, most recently Ritualize in 2016 on Western Vinyl which featured collaborations with Killer Mike and Ariel Pink amongst many others. Following a Trump-era mixtape, My Idols are Dead and my Enemies are in Power, and a criminally-overlooked collaborative album with the producer, Botany under the name The Skull Eclipses in 2018, Raj spent the last few years publishing a #1 New York Times bestselling children’s book P Is For Pterodactyl, which spent 26 weeks on the Times’ bestseller list, and the sequel out this month, No Reading Allowed. This led to a TV development deal for his kids’ book projects, as well as a “social horror” TV series set in India entitled, Cult of Aghori. All that is to say, he got a little sidetracked on the music front… until now. On REDAMANCY, Lushlife recasts classic east coast hip-hop in the context of an astral jazz synth odyssey. The recording features a collaboration with members of the Irreversible Entanglements quartet, who bring moments of sheer free jazz chaos across the recording's six sprawling tracks. Lushlife doubles down as a producer here, creating a universe where gorgeous synth arpeggios and Bomb Squad squeals fit hand-in-hand. With contributions from Dirty Projectors' vocalist, Felicia Douglass, HPrizm (FKA High Priest of Anti-Pop Consortium), noise-rap god heads, Dälek and more - Lushlife's Redamancy EP bristles with the energy of an artist willfully deconstructing his sound into something new.
