Salami Rose Joe Louis – Upstairs

Multi-instrumentalist and producer Lindsay Olsen aka Salami Rose Joe Louis released her new album Lorings on Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label last week and it’s excellent. Produced almost entirely on her Roland MV8800 workstation, for a couple of songs, SRJL invited a handful of talented friends to collaborate: guitarist/producer Flanafi (with whom Olsen partnered for the collaborative album ‘Sarah’ in 2024); Omari Jazz (Black Decelerant); Luke Titus and Sergio Machado Plim. The result is satisfyingly dreamy bedroom pop and occasionally glitchy electronica that drifts and tugs in perfect harmony.

Salami Rose Joe Louis – Always on my Mind

Salami Rose Joe Louis is the alias of Lindsay Olsen, who released her fifth album Akousmatikous – which losely transclates to “sound where there is no identifiable source” – earlier this month. As with much of her previous work, Akousmatikousi explores various shades of soul and jazz, but through a highly stylised and at times experimental lens, and includes features from some of her favourites artists, Soccer96, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Juuwah among them. Always on my Mind is one of the album’s more chill moments, with a lazy, tripping rhythm a suitably supple bed for her understated vocal delivery.
