Following the success of their debut album “St. Lola”, the band presents an experimental video for the track “Living-in-glory”, featuring Citny's live improvised painting performance. Band leader Maurizio Vitale recounts, “I met Kiddy a few years ago in Amsterdam. Last November, we bumped into each other at a Berlin train station and spontaneously decided to team up. This video is the visual translation of our most experimental track, captured in Kiddy's Berlin atelier.”
“Living-in-glory”, the closing track of the debut album, is an innovative blend of drone meditative music, ASMR, and industrial sounds. It was recorded in an unconventional studio on Dresdener Strasse, located on the former Berlin Wall strip. The track incorporates field recordings from the haunted building, once home to East Germany's secret services.
“Creating this piece with Lolita Terrorist Sounds was an inspiring process“, says Kiddy Citny. “Their innovative sound and the historical context of this track infused my painting with a very exceptional energy. It was a fascinating blend of our artistic worlds.“
Known for their incendiary live shows, Lolita Terrorist Sounds will soon embark on a European tour. Newly joined by Hamburg-based drummer Kian Kiesling, the band's electrifying performances are not to be missed.

They have said about Lolita Terrorist Sounds:
“It reminds me of the best post-punk bands from the 70s…hotter than a frying pan, sharper than a razor…” – Kristof Hahn (Swans, Pere Ubu)
“A driving beat pushes Lolita Terrorist Sounds from a cool classic sound to a new strange world…” – Thomas Wydler (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds)
“Splicing together the grit and dirty glamour of the best 80s coldwave and industrial rock – with 21st-century shine and shiver all its own…” – Nick Soulsby (author of several books on Nirvana, Sonic Youth, and Swans)
“…With plenty of ideas and experimentation at its heart, this subversive organisation needs close observation…” – Vive Le Rock Magazine
“…Lolita Terrorist Sounds leap over boundaries, drawing from a hodgepodge of influences that range from Nine Inch Nails to Einstürzende Neubauten, with a side of early Nick Cave’s dark poetry…” – Post-punk.com
“…Tom Waits seems to have been out drinking with Alabaster DePlume and wouldn’t you know it, the bar man is Nick Cave. [Red Carpet is] starting wondrously staggering, it’s a slow powerful build to a brilliantly pained crescendo, replete with dark strings and distorted vocals. The perfect way to end any evening…” – Fresh On The Net hosted by BBC 6 Music DJ Tom Robinson
