Artist Bio
Indie artist Logout returns with his 8th album titled “Τα της Επιστροφής (Of the Return)”. After 15 years of creative activity and a rich discography, this new album marks his return to Greece, symbolically closing a cycle that began with his first record and the song “Departure” (Paper Plane Flight Recorder, 2011, Inner Ear Records), which was released shortly before his departure to the Netherlands.
The album “Τα της Επιστροφής (Of the Return)” consists of tracks written during Logout’s recent repatriation period relocating back from a country that is the exact opposite to his own country in almost every aspect.
The album opens with the track “Αθήνα είσαι τέλεια (Athens You Are Perfect)”, which, despite its title, describes a far-from-perfect Athens, “from end to end sold and disappointed.” This song heralds the bittersweet mix of tracks that follows.
The songs in the album are more personal than ever, with references to the streets and neighborhoods of Athens where Logout grew up, such as Agia Ioannou, the main street in Agia Paraskevi. Two of the album’s tracks, “Τσούχτρες (Jellyfish)” and “Αθήνα είσαι τέλεια (Athens You Are Perfect)”, were already released last year and have become favorites in Logout’s concerts. In the album, these tracks are presented in new versions that better fit the overall album sound.
In contrast to his previous album “Πονέμελα (Ponemela)” (Inner Ear Records, 2022), where he gave away some of the production and mixing control, in “Τα της Επιστροφής (Of the Return)” Logout once again takes on the entire production, returning to the more lo-fi and unorthodox arrangements as he did earlier in his records “N91” (2019, Tiny Room Records) and “ΕΔΩ/ΕΚΕΙ (HERE/THERE)” (2020, Tiny Room Records – B-otherside Records).
The album will be released with the support of three record labels: B-otherside Records and Gama Records in Greece, and Tiny Room Records from the Netherlands, in September, which is always the quintessential “return” month.
