Berlin Avantgarde Musician K4LT Casts Long Shadow on “LCPD” Single

Berlin-based Avantgarde Musician and Producer K4LT casts a long, disquieting shadow on his new single “LCPD”, released May 2nd.

K4LT masterfully combining Alternative, Indie, Avantgarde, Post-Punk, Doom and Dark Wave sounds to form a formidable original sound.

About “LCPD”

“LCPD” is K4LT´s first single in two years and addresses one of the most painful breakup types: An amicable one. Since the release of the first avantgarde EP “Endgame”, the loss of loved ones and various other personal setbacks lead to probably the most difficult time in K4LT´s life. As a reaction, his sound has been refined. Listeners will notice a less rock-orientated, slightly calmer and more structured approach. The ominous overall aesthetic remains the same. Synths, including a modded Omnichord, play am even bigger part in K4LT’s sound now. The guitar is just a layer for that desperate feel instead of playing riffs or lead.

Fans of avantgarde artists Radiohead, Burial, Low, Mogwai and Richard Dawson will appreciate K4LT. In contrast to society’s universal accessibility of perfection, K4LT´s music leaves room for imperfections. It then transmutes them into a display of contemporary, mobile-first insecurity and despair. K4LT‘s original vision is fraught with existential tension, while ever pushing for the light at the end of the tunnel.

Listen to the best of Berlin Avantgarde, Dark Wave and Alternative music.
