mgk (Machine Gun Kelly): Lost Americana (Indie Excl. Vinyl) (LP)

Musically always at the interface between rap, guitar sounds and even country, this summer mgk (Machine Gun Kelly) is presenting what is probably his most important and personal project to date - "lost americana". "lost americana" is mgk's uncompromising reinvention and the beginning of an era that is all about classic storytelling, identity and self-development. Led by the ironic yet retrospective lead single "cliché", the seventh album blurs the line between satire and authenticity and combines humor, nostalgia and cultural criticism in mgk's unique way. "lost americana" takes listeners on an emotional and honest journey through dusty diners, the simple life of the past and their own self-reflection. Since his first album "Lace Up" (2012), mgk (then still known as Machine Gun Kelly) has become one of the most influential US musicians. Singles such as "Bloody Valentine" and "My Ex's Best Friend" became worldwide hits, the last two albums "Tickets To My Downfall" and "Mainstream Sellout" became No. 1 chart successes, "Tickets To My Downfall" was also nominated in the Best Rock Album category at the Grammys.
