      Album Description:

      John Coltrane once claimed that you could play a shoestring if you’re sincere, so imagine what a sincere, gifted, and unremittingly devoted artist can do with a drum machine, piano, and 13 musicians at his disposal.  With The Sound of Lasso, the Michigan composer, The Lasso, has turned these intangible emotions into lush wordless symphonies.

      It’s a sound that’s capable of channeling both the beauty of a frozen great lake and the warmth of a tropical savannah; it’s psychedelic and eerily comforting, chameleonic but unmistakably the vision of a laser-focused mind. A melodic cauldron of lo-fi instrumental hip-hop, face melting beat music, tribal funk, future jazz, and Boards of Canada-style IDM blasted into the frigid unknown. The sort of record that proves that genre isn’t real but the soul is an immutable concept.

      The genesis traces back to the summer of 2018, when unexpected life circumstances caused The Lasso to decamp from Tucson back to Michigan, where he spent his formative years. The previous several orbits had been focused on beatmaking and producing for Lando Chill, but an offer of a record contract from Mello Music Group and the newfound solitude in his native land offered him the opportunity to explore his own voice as a composer and home recording virtuoso.

      Recorded in eight weeks across Michigan, The Sound of Lasso was made with 13 musicians culled from an earlier era of his musical life—a sound that embodied the snow-fringed backwoods majesty of his childhood. There are no actual words, but the weightless voice of Sam Cooper chimes in like gorgeous ghostly choir, as distant memories and evocative landscapes swirl past in the mind’s eye.

      Removed from the constraints of formatting instrumentals to fit hooks, bars, and songs, The Lasso was liberated to capture an atmosphere and emotion that can’t be stated with syllables. It’s the liminal blur between sleep and sentience, the stunned shock that causes the hairs on your arms to stand stiff as bayonets, the narcotic twilight ambience of depression and the euphoric serotonin blitz of falling in love. The sum of human emotion artfully distilled into three-minute suites.

      This is the reward of decades of obsessive desire to become a master. Since the start of 2011 alone, The Lasso has released over 10 albums of original music ranging from hip-hop slanted psychedelica to ethereal phase music, astral space funk to lo-fi freak folk. He’s been compared to an unholy amalgam of Flying Lotus, Tobacco of Black Moth Super Rainbow and early Animal Collective. In reference to his work with Lando Chill, Bandcamp hailed “The Lasso’s kaleidoscopic funk, which gels together buoyant, West Coast-style bass lines with swirling melodic synths and wailing psychedelic guitar riffs to give the album a heady feel."

      The Sound of Lasso reflects his most seismic evolution. He plays the piano, synths, the guitar, the bass, the mellotron and the drums (both synthetic and organic). A song like “Pier of Drums” stiches a blissed out synth wash to shuffling drums and prog-jazz Rhodes keyboards creating something you’d expect from Brian Eno had he been a hip-hop head. “Forever Green” plays out like a supernatural emerald-hued daydream. “Across a Reflection” is an interplanetary funk odyssey, a spaceship hooptie that can’t stop swerving.

      But that’s just the start. This is sound as color, color as deep refracting groove, sound as soul music that penetrates to the marrow. The sound of Lasso at his solstice, unbound from gravity and always timeless.

      Return Policy / FAQ

      FAQ

      When will my order ship?

      Our team is working hard to get all orders shipping as quickly as possible and we expect all orders to ship within 5-10 business days after order.  You will receive a tracking number in your e-mail when it ships. We apologize for any delays and appreciate your patience & support. Note, we are a small business and we do not have a large staff - it takes us a little bit to process orders depending on what else is going on with releases, music creation, and business.

      What about pre-orders?

      We fully anticipate pre-orders to ship on or before the date posted on the product page. Please make sure you check the release date before purchasing to avoid any miscommunication. If you are ordering multiple items, all items will ship together on the latest release date, when all products are available. If you’d like to receive items as they become available, please order the items separately.

      Who can I talk to about my order?

      Before you reach out, please check your order & product pages to make sure all the items in your order are available. In a group order, all items will ship with the latest release date when all the products are available. If you have a question about a damaged order, changing order information or cancelling an order, you can send an e-mail to info@mellomusicgroup.com. Please include your order number so we can best understand the problem and help you.

       

      Canada, EU & UK Orders:

      Any VAT Taxes imposed by your country are your responsibility to pay upon receipt. Each country has it's own import rules so please be familiar with your country's rules prior to ordering. We can not cancel orders due to unexpected tarifs - sadly the political domain is out of our control. If tarifs are imposed after an order is placed we are not able to cancel the order. Sadly, many international orders that are not picked up - due to tariffs - are destroyed and we are unable to refund them.  For clarity: There are no refunds on returned orders not accepted by the customer because of tariffs.


      RETURN POLICY

      Returns & Exchanges

      Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns or exchanges on non-damaged music or clothing items at this time.

      Damaged Items

      If you receive a damaged item, please send an e-mail to info@mellomusicgroup.com with a photo or video of the damage to help us understand the problem and address any potential issues with future orders. If the product is still in stock, we will replace the damaged item. If it is sold out, we will work with you to either return your money or send you a comparable item.

       

      We can not refund or exchange orders because of split vinyl sides. We have strict quality control both coming into and out of our warehouse and we use the most secure packaging available to get LPs to you safely and in the highest quality. Unfortunately, split vinyl sides can happen if shipping companies aren't careful with your product and that risk should be considered before purchasing.

      Unclaimed Packages

      Lost packages are usually the result of entering an address incorrectly, moving before the item arrives, etc. When this happens, we will reach out and e-mail you to verify your address and resend your package. If we don’t hear back after 14 days, we will refund your order.
