ART CENTER RADIO.

Today marked the first release vinyl from Origami Vinyl with Lilofee’s 7” single “Runaway.”  The record has a rough finish matte sleeve with black and white cover art depicting a pair of wings.  The record itself is a very high quality looking and sounding clear vinyl.  The A-Side has a white label and the B-Side a black one, which originally led to some confusion due to the lack of labeling.  However after the initial play it became irrelevant.

I can go on and on about how great the record looks and sounds, but what’s really important is the music.  In the case of Lilofee’s single, the music is outstanding.  The A-Side, “Runaway,” is a fast, upbeat track that is a mixture of banging club tracks listeners would expect from Daft Punk or Justice mixed with Indie Pop vocals in the same vein as Metric’s Emily Haines, Uffie, and just a dash of Peaches in the mix.

The B-Side of the record, “In Flight,” is almost the polar opposite of the A-Side.  It’s not a bangin’ club track.  Instead it’s a darker, slower song.  The same electronic qualities of the first track remain, but the vocals are more atmospheric.  While “Runaway” would be the radio and club hit of the two tracks, “In Flight” would be the track that has more longevity with fans of the band. 

Lilofee has hit a home run with this release, and you would do yourself a favor to pick this up as soon as you can.  It’s a limited run of 500 copies, so get yours quick.  The record is available right now at Origami Vinyl on Sunset Blvd for $5.

Lilofee will be playing a record release show at the Echo on Dec. 16th presented by Origami Vinyl.  Other bands playing include Twilight Sleep and Acid Girls.  Admission is FREE and it begins at 9pm. 

In the rare case that this review didn’t persuade you to buy the record you can listen and download “Runaway” for free right here.
