EXCLUSIVE VIDEO STREAM OF 'PLASMA' THANKS TO IT'S PSYCHEDELIC BABY
www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2022/12/plasma-by-lunt-new-album-remember-we-were-waiting-for-the-snow.html

Žils Deless-Vēliņš (Lunt) has held a mystical relationship to sound and music since he was a child, and his crafting of music can be compared to a construction kit game, where music as a whole is more than the sum of sounds. For him, sound has a kinship with the concept of pneuma in Stoician philosophy. Sound expects to be found to become music, lying there in an intuitive background.

He has worked on a wide range of experimental projects, as a songwriter, sound engineer, and is the co-founder of French-based label We Are Unique! Records.

He is now based in Latvia where music is a ground for everyday life, and essential to Latvian identity.

'Remember We Were Waiting For The Snow' is about what is called "solastalgia" : our anxiety, our concern, our sadness to see some natural phenomenon disappear. Written 5 years ago, after Žils relocated to Latvia, it is a collection of exquisite reflective moving guitar-driven ambience drawing from same the sonic well as soundscapers like Jim O'Rouke.

Listen to Žils talking about his work and this album in an interview with Richard Thompson (Lost Harbours, the Road To Saturn et al):
www.mixcloud.com/camp_fr/liminal-noise-08th-november-2022/

"Lunt is the project of Latvian artist, Žils Deless-Vēliņš, who creates absolutely stunning emotional dreamscapes. With his latest LP, 'Remember We Were Waiting for the Snow', it’s the kind of sonic noodling inspired by the likes of Jim O’Rourke and Steven R. Smith.

Landscapes seem to play a predominant role throughout these guitar-based compositions. It’s a cinematic record, but instead of synths, the moodscapes are shaped by guitars that are so sharp and intricate, they could cut through ice.

Out of all the releases within this feature, you’d be hard-pressed to go past a more beautiful set of recordings than these. Lunt joins the likes of the aforementioned Smith and Winterwood in the realms of exploratory guitar music this year." - Sun 13

"drags hard on melancholic reflections. It’s also melodic and intimate, and ultimately, quite magical." - Aural Aggravation
auralaggravation.com/2022/12/12/lunt-remember-we-were-waiting-for-the-snow/

“a penetrating work that excludes the hecticity and unrest of everyday life and stops the world for a moment in a pure, winter atmosphere.” (4/5) - Written In Music
writteninmusic.com/albumrecensie/lunt-remember-we-were-waiting-for-the-snow/

"Thoughtfully arranged and bonded in a marvelous aesthetic, “Remember We Were Waiting For The Snow” is a journey unto itself and quite a moving and remarkable one." - Cultartes
cultartes.com/lunts-new-album-is-a-luminous-solitude-capable-of-offering-you-a-much-needed-mental-reset/

"Lunt is the alias of one Žils Deless-Vēliņš,currently residing in Estonia, a musician working with "guitar-driven ambience" often of a
gentle but uplifting nature. Each of the album's eight tracks have a different focus to them, like the opening Flakes And Feathers having an
early Steve Tibbetts feel about it, which is followed by Plasma (Under The Ice) - all tonal and extruded soundscaping and probably the
darkest track of the release. There's a Neil Young soundtracky feel in the tracks Dead Man In The Sand and Dead Man In The Snow, of
which I'm sure the titles are no coincidence. Another more unusual track is Lasteka which has a layering of various guitars, some of it in
reverse. All highly creative, and quite enjoyable."
- Audion Magazine, issue 73
