Midnight & closedown

"This music has been honed and refined with intimate care and attention to detail. This is music in evolution - tempo and dynamics are in constant motion, in a state of flux that's paused and re-started like a tape machine. Melody, poetry, emotion and memory weave in and out like stories. Midnight And Closedown is the next chapter in Lau's fascinating story. As ever from Lau, it's a unique and exceptional album".

"The more Lau do, the more you realise how genuinely extraordinary they are ... Their music is palpable and real, vital and urgent; yet it's as elusive as it is undefinable. There is no band like them - never has been. They may be rooted in tradition - in all its wondrous shapes and angles - and they will happily answer to the description of a folk band, but what they do is a unique combination of inspiration, imagination and technical excellence that comes from out there, indeed very out there; and it's different every time they do it".
