Lau

Folk / Trad

in association with An Droichead

Multiple winners of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for 'Best Group’ Lau are modern folk music's most innovative band. Brilliant musicians, thrilling performers and free-thinking visionaries. They have just released their 3rd studio album, ‘Race the Loser’ to widespread critical acclaim.

Their brand new album 'Race The Loser' (Reveal Records) was recorded with American producer Tucker Martine (Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists, R.E.M., Laura Veirs) in Scotland throughout the Spring of 2012. ‘Race The Loser’ pushes Lau’s complex, yet accessible sound, even further to the outer reaches of folk music whilst retaining all the strengths of the original acoustic trio.

Lau have played at some of the foremost festivals and venues in the UK and Europe, including Glastonbury Festival, WOMAD, Celtic Connections and Rudolstadt in Germany.
