Welling, flooding, The flood of so much dirty water? Filing your basement apartment? Lifting you up? We’ll teach you how to sleep.

It’s embarrassing to admit, but I don’t always choose the appropriate reaction To death and loss. I generally choose anger, And I should have offered comfort to you. I know it was always there, always under the ice, ready to dissolve in a solution. I know it was always there, always there, under my voice, in a liquid dream. My reaction to death is generally not appropriate. My first response is anger. And I should have offered you comfort.

Why won’t someone take care of me anymore? I want somebody there, For me, for me, for me. Anymore. Anymore. Why won’t someone take care of me anymore? I just wanna take care, Of you, of you, of you. Anymore. Anymore.

about

April 14, 2023: Chastity Platinum: Dead Scream, a new EP by Ottawa-based experimental avant-pop electronic artist Leucrocuta, is the sound of a demonic possession via the grocery store P.A. system by a chaotic-neutral time demon: 𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓉𝓎 𝒫𝓁𝒶𝓉𝒾𝓃𝓊𝓂. It’s what happens when you take your mind away and leave yourself open to whatever passing entities may wander through.

Written during the height of pandemic lockdowns, Chastity Platinum: Dead Scream was a way for Leucrocuta to explore fractured & queer identity through vocal processing, and to enter trance states through improvisation with simple but powerful synthesizer sequences, drum machine patterns, and repeated lyrical phrases.

𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓉𝓎 𝒫𝓁𝒶𝓉𝒾𝓃𝓊𝓂 is what happens when you invite the pod aliens to invade you. It’s what happens when you let your machines take control and sweat the big stuff. It’s about transformation and revelation through dissociation. Dissociation can be a powerful tool.. but who wields it?

Leucrocuta is an electronic music project. Their sound draws its influence from industrial, ambient and outsider avant-pop, and “feels like a dream often on fast forward” (Intersection Festival).

In September of 2020, they released their second full-length experimental electronic album ‘Kentanna’ on Lost Angles. Inspired by Star Trek’s Deep Space 9 television series, ‘Kentanna’ uses “distorted dialogue, chattering sound effects and the ambient hum [...] they create wormholes of sound to suck listeners inside” (Daily Xtra). Their first full-length experimental electronic album ‘Exorcises in Loneliness’ was featured in NOW! Magazine’s Best Music of the Week in Feb. 2019. They released a full-length avant-pop record 'how I touched it last' on Kentron Records in 2020, and in 2021 released an avant-pop EP 'Hot Summer Trash' on Biblioteka Records. They are currently working on completing a full length audio-visual album with experimental electronic music producer, Erin Corbett.

Leucrocuta has performed for Suoni Per il Popolo (2021), Wavelength Music Series (2020), EVERYSEEKER (2020), Long Winter (2019), Intersection festival (2019), Sled Island (2019), Electric Eclectics (2019), and the Forthwith festival (2018). They have played on bills with acclaimed musicians Morton Subotnick, and ADULT. They often perform alongside their partner and Lost Angles label owner Dot Starkey a.k.a. Hex-a-decimal, a vaporwave producer and 3D artist.

Proceeds from tapes go to Partage Vanier Food Bank. Their mission is to gather and distribute quality food, other necessities of life and
resources to individuals and families in need of Vanier.
Artist receives 75% of digital sales on Bandcamp and lathe proceeds go back to our label fund. We break even if they all sell.
