Between seasons, structures and solitude – the interview with Tor Lundvall

Thus, it was a great pleasure to contact the man himself and take a glimpse to the backstage of his artistic world. And it is much more real than one might think stretching between rural landscapes of Wyckoff (New Jersey), East Hampton (New York) and monoliths of Washington D.C.

Secret Thirteen Interview - Lycia

Read full interview

Stark corners, quiet moments and autumnal sublime – the interview with Lycia’s Mike VanPortfleet

Following the reissue of their masterpiece “Cold”, Lycia unexpectedly released “Quiet Moments”, their 2013 masterpiece, which was matured in long time and was instantly placed among band’s best work. “Quiet Moments” is the record unifying all the strongest moments of Lycia’s catalogue and sometimes fusing them with refined electronic experimentations ranging from droney rhythmic pulsation to almost industrial harshness echoing somewhere far. Yet the signature elements of the band remain and they are as prominent as ever.

Thus, it is an excellent moment to speak with Mike, one half of the duo and the founder of the band. In this exclusive, elaborate and heartfelt interview he talks about hope, solitude, deserts, the lengthy evolution of the band. And we are just left wondering what might be their next turn.
