Lultrills is fully in effect on “DOUBLE TAPPED,” a sharp, hypnotic, cocky, and instantly memorable record. The track is a solid intro for the artist but also hints at something much bigger than a one-off release. The music is not in a vacuum, it is the door into an ecosystem built by itself, where sound is linked to websites, visual experiences, characters, philosophy and a changing digital world.

“DOUBLE TAPPED” is offered not just as another release, but as a gateway to an environment that is created around the music itself. Lultrills is building infrastructure around the songs, tying together different types of creative expression, not letting the music live in a vacuum.

The end result is a release with an instant attitude and a greater sense of purpose. “DOUBLE TAPPED” confidently introduces Lultrills and hints at the music being merely part of a larger creative framework. Sharpness, hypnotic energy and cocky edge give the track its immediate character, but the growing ecosystem around it point to an artist thinking beyond the traditional confines of just releasing songs.
