LSD

Labyrinth Sia Diplo

 Introduction
“You’re saying those words like you hate me now. Our house is burning
when you’re raising hell”

LSD takes you to a different dimension altogether, and somehow

manages to bring your childhood back through their whacky videos. It's
like a lot of different genres mixed together- Pop, Quirky, Romantic
teamed with a 50s sort of old-school production.

Sia and Labrinth trade off singing over a Diplo beat. “Here in the ashes
your soul cries out, but don’t be afraid of these thunderclouds.”

Yes, they're painting the romantic summer we’ve all been looking for.

The dreamy sentimental tempo is paired with melodic lyrics to paint the
picture of this stormy love romance.
The album we’re focusing on,
‘Thunderclouds’ is like having a big
fight with someone that you love,
but knowing that even if you have
an argument, life is still gonna be
okay and you're still gonna be the
best of friends you ever were.

The song portrays that how when

you're looking for something (the
thunderclouds), there will be some
alchemy to harness the powers.

It can be compared to playing

game, where the sky is a desert
and you're chasing something
(thunderclouds).
 Styling Elements
The way the trio represent themselves as a group, it's like an
amalgamation of their exaggerated individual personalities. They have
super powers, they're fun loving fools and they aren't afraid of bringing
out their real selves.

Their style here can be described as -

Animated - They played puppets in one of their songs and animated

their characters through exaggeration in other albums as well.

Quirky - The usage of exclusive props, headgears and wigs and every
possible quirky element can be spotted in their music videos.

Vibrant and Popping - All of their songs are colorful and vibrant with an
exciting color palette and contrasting colors.
Makeup Elements

Makeup - Though Sia keeps her face somewhat covered with the wig and on other times
the makeup is really glamourous but still speaks volumes on the exaggerated personality.

The usage of bright popping lipstick and glitters and larger than life props are pretty much
LSD’s style quotient. The men in the group tend to play a lot with the hairstyle and the
colour of their costumes which can be described as playful, popping and a crazy depiction
of outstanding themes and ideas.
 Trivia :
LSD is a supergroup comprising
British musician Labrinth, Australian
singer Sia and American music
producer Diplo. The ensemble has
released four singles, all of which
appear on their EP Mountains,
released on Spotify on 2 November
2018. They announced their debut
album on 11 March 2019, to be
released on 12 April 2019.

Fun fact about the supergroup is that

all the three members belong to three
different continents. The crazy ideas
that they have put together to make
music always find a spot in the charts
of “arguably the best psychedelic
albums ever”.
