Vermont-based multi-instrumentalist Lutalo has teamed up with Lomelda for ‘Darkeve Duet’, a reworked version of Lutalo’s 2021 track ‘Darkeve’. Check it out below, alongside Lutalo’s newly announced tour dates with Katy Kirby.
‘Darkeve’ appeared on Lutalo’s debut EP, Once Now, Then Again, which will get its first-ever vinyl release on June 23. “Lomelda was definitely an influence sonically and texturally for Once Now, Then Again,” Lutalo said in a statement. “It was a full circle moment to have her being willing to help with this track. I really wanted to be able to see a reimagining of the track, and Hannah did a beautiful job developing her own world around the song. Though it’s familiar, it exists on its own sphere. I want to create music that allows for an experience and this does just that.”
Hannah Reed, aka Lomelda, added: “I was excited by the opportunity to find a new song within this already beautiful song. I knew I needed it slower, but everything else that it became was a trial and error process. Listening and patience brought me to this new composition that Lutalo and I got to sing together in the final moments, turning a collage into a duet. Thank you Lu, for this chance.”
