There’s a time to accumulate and a time to sort out, both inside and outside.
armaud put her life into order by writing her songs: all the tracks from ‘How to erase a plot‘ were inspired by moments she really faced. As already mentioned in the title, her writing has been a cleansing process allowing her to clean parts of her own plot.
To erase a story means to make room for a fresh new start while becoming aware of the mistakes already done.
Not really faults, rather than bad habits each one of us can change with just a little effort.
When listening to armaud her intimate touch stands out immediately so that it’s hard to imagine the right birth-moment of the songs: a room, a guitar and a strong dose of melancholy.
A delicate, lo-fi & dreampop (as well as sad pop and trip hop too) record full of bittersweet melodies tasting of an early Cat Power or a soothing PJ Harvey and where the refined arrangements remind us of Daughter atmospheres.
Ten enchanted songs that leave us with the chance of being surrended by thoughts and memories, floating in a suspended time.
«The subsequent nine tracks have given Lilies On Mars a quite stunning,
and often beautiful album. Sounding almost like an early 80s alternative synth album,
the girls have given the songs a truly modern twist.» – Louderthanwar

All songs on ‘∆GO‘ were written from edited improvisations and immediately recorded, whilst post production is also a key element in the whole creative process.
Retro-futurist, psychedelic and cosmic pop elements are accentuated on this record. At times uplifting, at times drone- and Kraut-like. They are strongly influenced by primitive electronic experimentalists and pioneers such as Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram of The BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
The title ‘∆GO‘ symbolises the retro-futurist concept; without context the word becomes abstract and helps to weave together the past and future (AGO also means needle in Italian). It can be read as AGO as used in story telling of times ‘long ago’ or as A GO, as if giving a go at something new in the future. Equally, the lines of Lisa and Marina’s distorted silhouettes on both album cover artwork and ‘Dancing Star’ video, inspired by Rutt-Etra-Izer, provides a visual representation.
