Kerkis (Judas-Tree)

Larry Gus releases a 7-inch single alongside his new album, which features two A-sides, Kerkis (Judas-Tree) and Foreign Steps, from the same recording sessions as Subservient. The lyrics to Kerkis (Judas-Tree) were written by Efthimis Filippou, an award-winning screenwriter known for his work with director Yorgos Lanthimos on films like Dogtooth, The Lobster, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

Larry Gus (real name Panagiotis Melidis) returns to DFA with Subservient, his fourth release for the label. More pop-oriented than his previous albums, Subservient is a lush combination of “crisis funk pop and trad Mediterranean grooves.” Lyrics sung in Greek and English address Larry’s overwhelming struggles with being a father, husband, artist, and human in 2019.
