Lau

Detailed Description

RELEASED 30th MARCH 2009.
Limited Edition, Gatefold Double Vinyl with Bonus CD (Limited to 500 Copies worldwide).

Triple winners of Best Group at the Radio 2 Folk Awards (2008/2009/2010), Lau are back with their highly anticipated second album, 'Arc Light'. The follow up to their hit debut - 'Lightweights And Gentlemen', 'Arc Light' is Lau at their very best, a collection of self-penned tunes and songs which highlights their unique take on folk music.

Highly regarded musicians in their own right, the combined talents of Kris Drever, Martin Green and Aidan O’Rourke make for a formidable and all-conquering trio. It is no surprise they were once again triumphant at 2010's BBC Folk Awards. Some songs from the new album have been showcased live at recent sell out shows in Tokyo and Glasgow’s Celtic Connections. Never off the road for long, Lau begin the Arc Light tour of the UK in early 2009.

Lau employ rising, epic song structures not usually associated with folk music and more akin to those on the leftfield of rock and jazz. The new album sees Kris Drever debut some of his own songs for the first time including the new radio single "Wintermoon", and there is a special Mojo commissioned Beatles cover as a bonus track on the first pressing of Arc Light.
