Andy Votel - Twisted Nerve Mixed

Twisted Nerve Mixed by Andy Votel

The Long Lost takes the subject of love away from the clichés and hackneyed wailing of the
mainstream and reconnects it to those strange and uncontrollable emotions we’re all so in thrall to.

· A fascinating and utterly individual project, The Long Lost consists of highschool-
sweethearts turned husband-&-wife Alfred (a.k.a. Daedelus) and
Laura Darlington.
· After four years apart, they formed The Long Lost during a renewed
courtship in 1998. In contrast to the avant-electronics and hip-hop aesthetics
of Alfred's music as Daedelus, The Long Lost is a union of two
songwriters and producers with a penchant for sad sounds and delicate,
electro-acoustic melodies. These two hopeless romantics make psychedelic
lullabies for lovers and the lovelorn.
· An exquisite Brazilian-influenced number whose stillness and poise is in fact
driven hard by frantic brushed drums, ‘Woebegone’ goes folkways for an
achingly beautiful ballad, both familiar and strange.
· As well as Sa-Ra, Laura has also sung for Flying Lotus and here the
favour is returned with a remarkable remix from the man himself completing
the package and taking ‘Woebegone’ in a startling alternate direction.
