about

LTO and KEPLR return as Quilotoa for their second release of 2023, ‘Sanggol’ - a warm, soulful, lofi track, with a touch of the west coast. An organ rotates lazily around slow breaks, accompanied by bluesy, melodic flutes that evoke an easy, carefree and childlike view of the world.

Whilst writing this song, both were transitioning from responsibility-free adults to parenthood. As a young father, ego steps back and you become a container for your child’s emotions, providing the language for them to understand themselves and the world. You’re no longer the main subject in the documentary that’s your life; it’s all about empathy, compassion and understanding. This is in contrast to being a musician and producer, which can be inherently egotistical pursuits!

“We wanted to mark the change to our lives. This song signifies not only a simpler state of being - nonchalant day dreaming from one self-involved experience to the next, but also the lightness of mind and wonderment of how a child sees the world; and how one must end for the other to flourish. It’s a beautiful transition that can be sad when viewed from the lens of ego, but when accepted with self compassion, it is ultimately full of the richer stuff of life. It’s taken us time to realise this and I’m sure as we embark on our lives with our separate families, it will be a theme we likely revisit as time goes on.”
