To date, Loolacoma (aka Aleksandra Khvaleev) has lent her ethereal, unforgettable – and possible now even unmistakable – tones to a dozen or more of Pavel’s works. With vocal resonances touching on everything from Portishead to Nina Simone and a production that at times echoes DJ Shadow, Goldfrapp and others, ‘Dismay’ weaves its spectacularly lament-laced spell. Cultural, political or personal – the exact meaning to Loolacoma’s lyrics are left deliberately implicit, leaving ‘Dismay’s exact meaning open to the individual’s interpretation.
