LAU NAU [FIN]

Nukkuu means sleep in Finnish. It is the long awaited sophomore album by celebrated Finnish femme folk fave Lau Nau. Nukkuu is psychedelic, abstract & I wish I was her child when I listen to it.

Lau Nau is free spirited Finnish artist Laura Naukkarinen. Nukkuu is a result of changes. In the years since her debut album Kuutarha, Laura became a mother, moved to the Finnish countryside and took valuable time to carve out a space for her enchanted art in the new found tranquility of her remote surroundings.

Since the release of her celebrated debut in 2005, Lau Nau has enjoyed considerable recognition for her intimate & playful blend of ethnic tinged folk songs with curious & intuitive sounds conjured from familiar and exotic sound sources.

For instance Pitchfork media writes that Lau Nau manages to take a million-and-one risks while keeping things subtle, understated, aesthetically intriguing and emotionally resonant. However many giants in the alternative music world has also pointed out her exraordinary capabilities live.

The Wire, Feb 07: 60 concerts (of all time) that shook the world: "The best set came from Lau Nau, the trio led by Laura Naukkarinen. Visibly pregnant, Naukkarinen gently strummed and bowed her stringed tools with soft precision, like a snake shedding its skin. Her spiralling songs were the most enchanting parts of an evening full of indoor campfires. Together, she and her Finnish comrades flipped the concept of the house show on its head, making a cosy indoor nook feel like the great outdoors."

The concert is arranged in co-operation with Koloni and Nordisk kulturfond.
