Lutalo takes on the role as narrator in their music, playing with auto-fiction to blend elements from their own childhood with fiction. In opening track \u201cSummit Hill,\u201d Lutalo recalls revising the grounds of their former school with a friend, surrounded by the grand brick houses feeling a sense of wanting to have a sense of home that felt as strong and grand as some of those places, too. In the Schoolhouse Rock-inspired, Kurt Vile-esque \u201c3,\u201d Lutalo describes the onset of anxiety as it literally suffocates him, the metaphor of asphyxiation evolving into feeling as if a noose is around his throat: \u201cOn my own, I\u2019m a little tied up\u2026 around my neck, I\u2019m a little tied up.\u201d Across the record, Lutalo\u2019s drawl is assured, introspective, self-reflective and coming from a place of intuition, all while still questioning the world around them.<\/p>\n<p>            <i>The Academy<\/i> deals with Lutalo\u2019s recollections of their family losing their house when they were nine years old during the 2008 financial crash, and what that meant for their family and future. It was a turning point, a hardship that incited their life-long contemplation of societal inequality and division, while also understanding the importance of acceptance as they challenge themselves, using music as a way to process their upbringing.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264259\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_2_rrpedx\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"Lutalo\u2019s story-truth fuzz rock\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><\/p>\n<p>      Photo by Adam Alonzo.<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264287\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264261\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <b>The FADER: What made you decide to focus on your time at The Academy in particular for this record?<br \/><\/b><br \/>Lutalo: <i>The Academy<\/i> is about school, but also the academic observation of living from childhood up to this point, so everything that I experienced, for the most part. I try to look at it from an academic perspective. I wanted to be able to lay a groundwork of something for people to be able to build narratively. I viewed that as my prologue; my introduction to what this world is. I\u2019ve been labeling this as the first chapter or the beginning of a story that I plan to continue to tell throughout future albums, and that these will all be connected in certain ways.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>I love how you talk about your music being chapters, and using literary themes to narrativize your art \u2014 it\u2019s like you reorient your perspective the older you get, and try to view your upbringing through a more holistic lens through intellectualizing what you didn\u2019t understand. How do you approach writing?<br \/><\/b><br \/>I would say the instrumental informs a lot of lyrical content. I mostly focus on feeling and emotion first. That\u2019s usually what inspires the first spitting of words, which often is this mumbling that will eventually be chiseled away. Maybe that\u2019s a better way of looking at it. It\u2019s chiseling away at stonework and discovering what it means later on, somehow. That\u2019s why I like to play into this concept of magic. We get to a place where it makes sense. There\u2019s indicators and random words that come up first. Sometimes, I don\u2019t know what the song is about until it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n<p>            I\u2019ve always liked fantasy stuff. I was really into <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/anime-manga\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"6\" title=\"Anime || Manga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anime<\/a>. I\u2019m still into anime. One of my favorite anime is <i>Soul Eater,<\/i> and they have a lot of characters and world-building that I think is really cool. <i>Naruto<\/i> was a big one when I was a kid. I always played <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s and video games with my friends. We\u2019d have a really great imagination.<\/p>\n<p>            There was a shift, obviously, as I was growing up, where I tried to hyperfixate on pragmatism, and what was real. It\u2019s just romanticizing things and shifting my perception.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264256\" class=\"content_block diptych triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper half_gutter_right gutter_btm\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_760,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_1_khpc4d\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw\" alt=\"Lutalo\u2019s story-truth fuzz rock\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n      Photo by Adam Alonzo.<br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><br \/>\n      \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"media_wrapper half_gutter_left\" style=\"\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_760,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Lutalo_by_Conor_MacCormack_zo745x\/photo-by-adam-alonzo.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw\" alt=\"Lutalo\u2019s story-truth fuzz rock\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n      Photo by Conor MacCormack.<br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><br \/>\n      \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264262\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            <b>It\u2019s all based on feeling.<br \/><\/b><br \/>Yeah, mostly feeling and intuition.

Later on, in high school, I really discovered what indie music was from watching <i>Scott Pilgrim<\/i> and being like, \u201cWhat is this fucking cool, gritty-ass sound?\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264263\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            <b>Would you say your lyrics are written from an auto-fiction point of view?<br \/><\/b><br \/>I suppose so. Like Scott Pilgrim is not a real person, but he represents a real type of person and all those characters represent real people. I\u2019ve just made Lutalo as another one of those characters. I\u2019m living as Lutalo, and I also get to shift and build how I perceive Lutalo to be.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>Do you have a preference for writing music versus writing lyrics?<br \/><\/b><br \/>The music part is a lot easier for me. For a long time, I honestly didn\u2019t listen to lyrics. I was focusing on just how music made me feel. My brain wasn\u2019t able to register lyrics very well. It wasn\u2019t until later in high school that I started to really listen to lyrics. <\/p>\n<p>            There are points where I\u2019m like, \u201cThe song is telling me that I need to say this word\u201d or \u201cThis needs to be how we end.\u201d Sometimes, I listen back to songs of mine that I\u2019ve put out and I\u2019ll be like, \u201cOh, I misheard the lyric it\u2019s supposed to be, and it should have been this other word.\u201d It made me learn how to listen to your inner voice.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264267\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left pull_quote\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"pull_quote\"><p>I\u2019ve just made Lutalo as another one of those characters.

It\u2019s a heavy song.<br \/><\/b><br \/>\u201cBig Brother\u201d is about a couple of different things, simultaneously. It&#8217;s about growing up with my younger brother and our relationship. We are very close now, but I remember when he started high school and I was like, \u201cDang, I pushed my brother away. That\u2019s sad.\u201d And maybe it wasn\u2019t as bad as I think it to be, but I like to reflect on it, as an older sibling. <\/p>\n<p>            The other side of it was growing up during the 2008 housing crisis. We lost our house during that time. I was probably eight or nine and trying to reflect on what the hell was going on. My dad was usually pretty good with explaining what was up to the best of his ability. <\/p>\n<p>            It was just such an odd concept that now we don\u2019t have a home. It\u2019s mostly things that I was witnessing and observing, and then trying to capture what it felt to be confused, but also putting things together slowly and being like, yeah, this stuff is happening, and someone [else] is coming out on top.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>How much were you able to understand at such a young age?<br \/><\/b><br \/>There were points where things were really intense, and I did ask questions. My dad would try to give the most age-appropriate answer for why certain things were really ingrained into our lives, like the military industrial complex. We\u2019re not for that subjugation of Black and brown bodies. We\u2019re not for that war-mongering. I remember there was a time when my father  was like, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on with our family is an unfortunate situation,\u201d and I just accepted that. I applied that to my entire outlook.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264258\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Lutalo_by_Adam_Alonzo_4_bcybuo\/lutalos-story-truth-fuzz-rock.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"Lutalo\u2019s story-truth fuzz rock\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><\/p>\n<p>      Photo by Adam Alonzo.<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264265\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            <b>Did you find yourself questioning a lot, when you were younger?<br \/><\/b><br \/>Since I just accepted things, there were plenty that I didn\u2019t question. There were moments where I was like, \u201cDang, I haven\u2019t really processed all of this.\u201d And that was what this album was supposed to be for myself as well. My dad&#8217;s mentality was basically, \u201cI\u2019m going to arm you with how people are going to shift, how they communicate and engage with you as you continue to age as a Black person.\u201d Like, hey, the way that these people talk to us, be mindful of that. The way you\u2019re looked at on the street, be mindful of that. When you&#8217;re in this neighborhood, be mindful of how you&#8217;re being perceived. <\/p>\n<p>            It definitely prepared me for a lot. It probably made me a little jaded at such a young age, and maybe that&#8217;s just what it is.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>My mom did a similar thing where she would try to hide the complete truth for me when I was younger, as a mode of protection. But kids are a lot smarter than people think. I would rather just know. There\u2019s a way to deliver information that is empathetic and kind. <br \/><\/b><br \/>I understand that. It makes you feel like a child, basically. My dad had a lot of moments where his perspective was just like, \u201cI won\u2019t lie to my children.\u201d There was no Santa. There was no Easter bunny. It was him. He was doing shit. There\u2019s also another side to it where it\u2019s like, \u201cOh, I missed out on some of the magic and that&#8217;s what I\u2019m trying to recreate within my current life.\u201d I think that truth is trusting that your kids are smart enough to be able to process things. There\u2019s a time when information is good and there\u2019s others where it&#8217;s really not helping anything. I don\u2019t think he got it right every single time, but you do your best as a parent.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Cady Siregar<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
