Drawing on a decade of Carnatic training, she alchemizes spectral vocals and synths to form transient, enveloping worlds. In July she released her solo debut &#8216;Migration&#8217; &#038; followed on from this in October with the haunting video for &#8216;Telos&#8217;. <\/p>\n<p>Over the course of 5 songs she draws inspiration from the 4,000-year-old Sumerian tale of the goddess <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Inanna\">Inanna<\/a> &#038; the challenges she faces during a transformative journey to and back from the underworld. Exploring the concept of rebirth in and across lifetimes, the result is a heavily atmospheric &#038; expansive sound that envelopes you in it&#8217;s hushed, ethereal vocals &#038; draws you completely into it&#8217;s world. Ghostly &#038; delicate, but with a dark, primal soul lurking just beneath, it&#8217;s subtle complexity grows with each listen.  <\/p>\n<p>The video for &#8216;Telos&#8217; shot by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eaaronross.com\/\">E. Aaron Ross<\/a> &#038; styled by Laura Prieto-Velasco of <a href=\"http:\/\/huntergathererchicago.bigcartel.com\">Hunter Gatherer<\/a> is just as dark &#038; dreamy as the music, and features some of my favourite independent designers. I&#8217;ve put together a mini wishlist of items which feature in the video, and I urge you to go check out each &#038; every one of these wonderful independents. The Noctex &#038; Hogan McLaughlin pieces in the video were from Spring collections &#038; are sadly now sold out, but I&#8217;ve included some of their new season pieces instead, which are just as beautiful. Particular favourites are the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anutera.com\/product\/iron-cage-bracelet\">heavy iron cuff<\/a> from Anu Tera, Hogan McLaughlin&#8217;s mesh <a href=\"http:\/\/hoganmclaughlin.bigcartel.com\/product\/gauntlet-shirt\">&#8216;Gauntlet&#8217; shirt<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leah-ball.com\">Leah Ball<\/a>&#8216;s &#8216;Conduit&#8217; cuff (as seen in the 2nd image) &#038; the collaborative pieces from <a href=\"http:\/\/huntergathererchicago.bigcartel.com\/category\/migration\">Hunter Gatherer x Lykanthea<\/a>, inspired by &#038; hand stamped with lyrics from the EP.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video for Telos below, then listen to the rest of the Migration EP &#038; download it for free <a href=\"http:\/\/lykanthea.bandcamp.com\/\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/105436778?color=ffffff\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noctex Squared Hem Tank \/ Anu Tera Iron Cage Bracelet \/ Hogan McLaughlin Gauntlet Shirt \/ Hunter Gatherer Whipsnake Wrap + Wear My Flesh Cuff (x Lykanthea) + Santorini Rings \/ Nuit Vortex Leggings Lykanthea is Lakshmi Ramgopal, a solo ambient musician based in Rome, Italy via Chicago.
