While recording their second album, Lau, São Paulo-born, Brighton-based artist Lau Ro embraced the fixed parameters of chronic pain, locating beauty in short spurts of energy, and adopting a loose, highly intuitive process that began on a 4-track cassette recorder. The simply strummed “Simplesmente” reflects their desire for spontaneity, trusting the winds of improvisation. The track slowly unfolds to a string-flourished final pass. Ro adds, “It was quite cathartic, one of those things that can’t be planned.”
Following the release of “Conclusão,” the new single “Simplesmente” is out now.
Lau is available for pre-order on black vinyl.
