MISTY ROSES “Taking their name from a Tim Hardin song, Misty Roses combine pop melodrama with electronic texture in a manner rarely heard since The Associates. Robert Conroy’s vocals are a dead ringer for the late Billy Mackenzie, yet the melodies they trace frequently evoke Scott Walker’s classic late 60’s albums…. Much of the music on Villainess — [their new album, currently available] — is disturbingly intense…lending considerable substance to Conroy’s theatrical meditations on beauty, obsession and loss.” ~ The Wire

 Lapis Lazuli is a solo instrumental project written, produced, and performed by Kurt Wolf on laptop, guitar, and analog synth.  Kurt Wolf is known for his contributions to downtown noise rock acts, Pussy Galore, Boss Hog, Loudspeaker, Emma Peel, Foetus Inc.  Kurt Wolf was given the name by his good friends Antony and the Johnsons, hence the brand.

 Lapis Lazuli music exists in kind of a parallel universe were soundtrack composers dominate the later part of the 20th century musical landscape.  A warped vision of what music from the era may have sounded like minus the utopian hippy hegemony of the late sixties and early seventies.
