Biography

The Log.Os is the open-ended experiment and creative handle of Los Angeles-based musician Ken Barrientos. The first album (entitled, unspeakably: λόγος) was self-released quietly via tumblr – resulting in viral recognition. It includes vocals from Nikko Gray and Iman Omari. Also featured are Bilal and Ty$.

Self-described as post-genre, the music evokes a washed-out blend of elements – from ambient soundscapes and post-rock/shoegaze to rnb/soul and pop. Bleak and dark as it is warm and human, and somehow as sparse and spacious as it is involved. Critics have likened the production to that of Massive Attack, Burial, and James Blake.

The Log.Os has opened up for Shabazz Palaces and Gonjasufi, has generated a series of remixes, and has been featured extensively on NPR.
