Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY continues to explore the Interzone between fashion, visual art and music with the release of Neko. Accompanying the label's Fall/Winter 2022 collection, the album presents a polyphonic love letter to music, riffing on the work of rebel cellist Arthur Russell alongside countless other influences.
In a statement, the brand shared "LOVERBOY has always had an indomitable musical pulse throbbing at its core. For Charles Jeffrey, music is tantamount to fashion and visual art in the diverse roster of inspirations feeding his practice." Jeffrey teamed up with multidisciplinary artists Robert Fox and Tom Furse, formerly "The Horrors" -- uniting close friends of LOVERBOY.
The result, "A multi-genre soundscape, oscillating from the classical to the industrial via soaring synths, hypnotic vocals from Fi Moclusky, rapping courtesy of rising star Taliable and strings from Raven Bush." The album's title, taken from the Japanese word for cat, points subtly to a feline motif that slinks repeatedly through the LOVERBOY universe.
You can now listen to Neko on music streaming apps.
