Here's the debut self - titled album from Berlin - based trip - hop duo a.s.o., featuring singer/songwriter Alia Seror - O'Neill and producer Lewie Day. 'a.s.o.' consolidates the previous three singles thematically and shows an amazing artistic growth. Day and Seror - O'Neill have mastered radio - friendly pop and subverted it. Across eleven tracks, they've created a rich and engaging body of work. The music ranges from emotionally complex trip - hop torch songs for club lovers to ethereal dream pop like Cocteau Twins, slow - burning AOR - soul, and dubwise styles. It pays homage to Julee Cruise, Fleetwood Mac, and Portishead, but stays true to its own identity. Alia's unique voice takes us from the elegiac to the euphoric. Day's music is a great match, being deep, slightly menacing, restrained, and powerful. The album has a cinematic feel, making the familiar seem strange. It takes you on an emotional joyride and leaves you floating in space. By the end, you'll be changed. This black vinyl LP has a printed inner sleeve and is released by Low Lying Records in 2023.
Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable and let the music play. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on it. Keep the LP away from direct sunlight and heat as these can warp the record. Store it vertically in a record sleeve to prevent bending. After each use, gently wipe the vinyl with a record cleaning brush to remove any dust. If you want to clean it more thoroughly, use a proper record cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. Enjoy this unique album and let it take you on a musical journey.
