In the world of lo-fi hip hop, where serial and repetitive production often dominates the scene, emerges an experience that defies all expectations. Italian lo-fi duo NTRLY and Loris Mils shake up the lo-fi landscape with the release of their new album, “The Magic Flute.” This bold and extraordinary work blends lo-fi hip hop with samples from the rich tradition of Italian progressive rock, marking an incredible turning point in this sub-genre of music.
In an era where authenticity is often sidelined, NTRLY and Loris Mils stand as pioneers, highlighting their authorship and celebrating the rich musical heritage of their country. “The Magic Flute” is a celebration of this tradition, a bridge between the past and present of Italian music.
What distinctly sets “The Magic Flute” apart from other lo-fi hip hop projects is that it is a concept album. This audacious choice takes the listener on a journey through woodland, magical, and fantastical atmospheres, transporting them to an imaginary world of adventures. It’s a sonic experience that provides the perfect backdrop for reading fantasy novels like those by Tolkien or immersing oneself in epic Dungeons & Dragons sessions.
NTRLY and Loris Mils, renowned for their original approach to lo-fi hip hop, founded the Midnight Espresso collective in 2016, an entity that has consistently challenged the genre’s boundaries. Their previous albums, “What If You Find Love (in Outer Space)?” and “Stargaze,” were set in space-themed atmospheres, showcasing their versatility in creating unique sonic worlds.
“The Magic Flute” album is published by Pueblo Vista, a prominent name in the world of lo-fi hip hop with over 600 million streams on various platforms. The partnership between NTRLY, Loris Mils, and Pueblo Vista promises to take the genre to new heights.
With “The Magic Flute,” NTRLY and Loris Mils once again prove themselves to be pioneers in the realm of lo-fi hip hop, reinventing the genre through originality and creativity. The album is available on all major streaming platforms.
