Lau April 20, 2013

Probably contemporary folk music's most innovative band, Lau is three brilliant musicians, thrilling performers and free-thinking visionaries.

Their new album Race The Loser pushes their 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). Released in October the new album was recorded with American producer Tucker Martine (Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists, R.E.M. Laura Veirs).

The band has been showered with awards including an unprecedented three consecutive wins as Best Group at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
