Salami Rose Joe Louis aka Lindsay Olsen is a genre traveler multi-instrumentalist female producer and a signee to Flying Lotus's Brainfeeder label. She produces and records pretty much exclusively on her beloved Roland MV8800, nicknamed “Funfunfun”. Her debut record with Brainfeeder in 2019, “Zdenka 2080”, is a critically acclaimed, conceptual sci-fi epic that earned an Album of the Year nomination at Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards. Since then, she has toured the world supporting genre-bending luminaries Flying Lotus, The Cinematic Orchestra, Toro y Moi, TuneYards, Clairo, and MNDSGN. Her 2023 album “Akousmatikous” is a follow-up sci-fi odyssey to “Zdenka 2080” that blends emotional intensity with sonic experimentation. Her storytelling attempts to confront and explore a range of subjects such as climate change, the power of imagery, propaganda, depression, societal greed, isolation, and the trappings of societal conditioning. Recent collaborations include a feature on Toro y Moi's “Mahal”, a remix for Hiatus Kaiyote, and the 2024 collab album extravaganza “Sarah” with legendary Philadelphian – Flanafi. 2024 also yielded a spellbinding live EP – “Salami Live at 2131 North Kacey Street” – reinterpreting some of her classic songs with a dynamic quartet, capturing the energetic intensity and improvisational magic of their joined sounds together. With her innovative production style and captivating live shows, Salami Rose Joe Louis continues to push the boundaries of alternative/electronic/jazz music.
