Jan 30, 2019 Shlohmo returns with a brand new album, 'The End' - set to land on March 22 via WEDIDIT / Friends of Friends. Having worked on a number of impressive rap collaborations as of late, the last we heard new original music from the LA-based producer was four years ago following the release of his LP 'Dark Red'. His new, long-awaited album consists of 13-tracks filled with whimsical sonic. This week's new album releases. Find the best new albums released this week.
Last night on my show I had the privilege of hosting Jerome LOL, the LA-based half of the LOL Boys, for an exclusive mix and interview.
Just before we sat down to do the interview, Jerome dropped a bomb on me: the LOL Boys were going on an indefinite hiatus to focus on solo endeavors.
Let’s rewind a bit for those playing catch up: the LOL Boys an internet-based electronic duo comprised of Jerome Potter (a.k.a. Jerome LOL) and Montreal-based Markus Garcia. After 4 years of putting out buzzworthy EPs on various independent labels, they scored a surprise #1 on the KCRW chart a couple of weeks ago with their recently released Changes EP on LA-based Friends Of Friends Records. The LOL Boys, and Jerome in particular, are among the most in-demand DJs in the LA club scene. Recently, Jerome played the Low End Theory and Do-Over parties and was one of the co-headliners on the bill with Shlohmo and the Friends Of Friends crew that sold out the Echoplex.
Jerome has already gotten a jump on his new career as a solo artist, releasing two new tracks on his soundcloud page that are available as a free download. Markus also has solo work in the pipeline.
Here is the mix that Jerome put together especially for KCRW:

As a thank you to the fans who’ve supported the group through the years, the LOL Boyshave released a zip file of previously unreleased edits they did of a disparate array of acts such as Fiona Apple, Avicii, Lil Wayne and Carly Rae Jepsen (yes, you read that correctly) among others.

The final official release by the LOL Boys will be a Changes Remix EP featuring remixes by Todd Edwards, Star Slinger, Groundislava, CFCF, and Grant, the producer for internet sensation Kitty Pride. Sugar bytes guitarist v103 incl keygen 1.
If all that isn’t enough, Jerome has been busy running one of my favorite labels in the world — the endlessly exciting Body High Records. After a slew of incredible releases by the likes of Floyd Campbell, Myrryrs and Todd Edwards, Jerome announced that the coming months would see new releases by label co-head Samo Soundboy and a follow-up EP by the mysterious DJ Funeral.
Yeah, it sucks that the LOL Boys are dunzo (for now anyways), but maybe LOL Boys Gta 5 hancock mod. fans can hang their hat on the hope that with Jerome and Markus releasing work separately there will be twice as much LOL material out there. Fingers crossed.

Around this time last month, Shlohmo revealed the first single off his forthcoming album, the ominously named title track, “The End.” Today we get to dive a little deeper into the project with the release of three brand new tracks by Shlohmo, in the form of an EP.
The new release is called Rock Music, and it contains two never before heard singles straight off of his The End album (“Rock Music” and “Still Life”), and an extra loosie called “Send Help.” Going with the overall foreboding, apocalyptic theme of his upcoming project, these new tracks have a very grim and almost painful atmosphere to them. Shlohmo is definitely a master of evoking strong emotions through his music.
“Rock Music” and “Send Help” are straight up menacing, while “Still Life” plays out like an ethereal interlude into obscurity. Stream these three new tracks below and enjoy! Also keep on the lookout for the official drop of The End, which is slated for a March 22 release. Enjoy!
