Lust For Youth and Croatian Amor share new track “Kokiri,” a second look at their forthcoming collaborative album All Worlds, which is set for release on March 7th via Sacred Bones.
Loke Rahbek, who used to be a member of Lust For Youth, left the group to focus on his solo project Croatian Amor and the Posh Isolation record label. His departure coincided with the release of Lust For Youth’s self-titled album in 2019. With All Worlds, Rahbek’s collaboration with Lust For Youth marks a poignant reunion for the band’s core creative forces, where the differing sonic palettes of the Lust For Youth and Croatian Amor projects meet again in the form of a full-length album.
Drawing inspiration from the Golden Record sent into space as humanity’s message to the unknown, All Worlds mirrors this longing for connection and understanding. Each track captures a fragment of emotion, culture, or memory, offering a kaleidoscopic view of the human experience.
Following the release of first single “Dummy,” a pivotal track borne of the creative spark set between the three in Australia, “Kokiri” takes it’s name from the forest in video game series The Legend of Zelda. It builds layers of luminous, earthy atmospherics and samples to an energized, heady, beat-based crescendo.
Along with the original version of the track, they also share an ethereal remix by Fatshaudi, commenting: “Rachel had made a cover/version of Armida, that she posted on her social media. We really liked her version and asked if she was into make something for All Worlds. She gave back this stripped down and beautiful version of ‘Kokiri.'”
