We’re delighted to announce that we’ll be releasing the brand new album from Scottish folk band Lau in association with Reveal Records.

It is titled ‘Race The Loser‘ and we’ll be releasing a very special deluxe double 180g vinyl gatefold sleeve package containing the album on disc 1 and the ‘Ghosts’ EP that Lau recorded with Adem on disc 2. There will also be a CD of ‘Race The Loser’ included for those of you with cars or computers.

Lau are modern folk music’s most innovative band. Brilliant musicians, thrilling performers and free-thinking visionaries.

Their new album ‘Race The Loser’ (CD out on Reveal Records October 1st) 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 (Kris Drever Vocals/Guitar, Martin Green Accordion, Aidan O’Rourke Fiddle).

‘Race The Loser’ features Lau’s best, most universal and significant music yet, the sound of three exceptionally talented friends embracing with open arms yet another new chapter of what has already been an extraordinary musical journey.
