Following up on L.A. Salami's Walkabout EP which introduced the character of Papalious Stokely, L.A. Salami releases the second chapter, Self Portrait in Sound.
Whereas the initial EP found Papalious Stokely exploring the dark underbelly of a generic global metropolis, Self Portrait In Sound is more introspective. It simmers with angst – losing and lacking love, fading friendships, and trying to redirect those personal failings that you’re irresistibly drawn to. It all comes to a head in the desolate and defeated denouement of "Come Back For The Rest Of Me."
While the themes have evolved in Self Portrait In Sound, so too has the music. It steps beyond the skeletal spoken word of the previous instalment, with one foot in the stripped-back poetry of the Greenwich Village sound and another in the bolder productions of the modern alt-folk scene.
“This EP is a self-portrait of sorts, in sound. Of someone that once was, and who can still be found somewhere. Things are forever changing but this was someone at some point, and could still yet be what I become. So I called it the Self Portrait In Sound EP.”
