about

CREP97/KRXN037 Discrepant/Keroxen 2023

Sophomore album from Tenerife based trio, LAGOSS (Gonçalo F. Cardoso, Mladen Kurajica and Daniel García).

Moving away from their megamix vignette based first volume, the trio now experiments with a more song based approach whilst still keeping their trademark jam infused tropicalia and electronic freak outs with an offering to their 1970’s sci-fi masters – enter the lift to the stars.

First proposed by Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and taken to mystical literary heights by Arthur C. Clark in his 1979 book Fountains of Paradise, the concept of a space lift takes a spiritual turn here, with LAGOSS chronicling its construction, right here and there on a near future version of their Island of Tenerife, in the Canary Archipelago.

The album moves freely through ideas and moods akin to the world imagined by Arthur C. Clarke. It conveys a new story by sonically imagining future civilizations in a faux ethnographical exercise whilst exploring current ideas of technology, religion and alternative history by creating its own particular insular sound world.

The album counts with the participation of dear friends such as a synth solo by Spencer Clark (Monopoly Child Star Searchers et all.) and a punchy, full blown remix by Muqata’a. Altogether creating a unique collection of eerie musical moments made of sub tropical moods and cyber exotica jams from a band that keeps growing and evolving into their very own personal sound. Enter Tenerife in the late 21st Century, meet the Aquachachos and Guayechi, and ascend!

Context

2097 - Serendip aka Tenerife in the late 21st Century

Two advanced modern tribes with advanced capabilities live in Serendip Island in 2097, previously known as the island of Tenerife on the Canary Archipelago.

The Guayechi, builders and talented engineers who settled in the highlands as well as the Aquachachos, underwater hybrid humanoids that excel at deep sea exploration and algae cultivation - the biggest source of fuel in the late 21st century.

Its been decided that the prime location for the building of Earth’s first Space Elevator connecting earth with humankind’s largest space station, the E.T.E.S.S.A. (Earth Transit Station) will be at the summit of the Ascension volcano aka TEIDE volcano - a sacred and holy site for both civilisations inhabiting the island and a constant friction point between tradition, religion and now the future of mankind.

The Star Bridge as it has been nicknamed will be the biggest human feat of engineering ever attempted by mankind, and it will be built there, in the ancient island of Tenerife, Canary Islands.

This is its story...
