Lau is the most exciting band to emerge on the folk scene in recent times. Bursting with energy and inventiveness, all three musicians are at the top of their game exhibiting musical pyrotechnics and wizardry aplenty with tune – writing and arranging skills, great harmonies and sheer exuberance. Kris Drever’s singing, particularly on The Unquiet Grave, is quite beautiful. Highly original repertoire and some super takes on traditional song. A CD destined to be looked on as something really special.
Lau are:
Kris Drever – Guitar, E-bowed Dobro guitar and vocals
Aidan O’Rourke – Fiddle
Martin Green – Piano-keyed accordion and Accordion through Leslie speaker
