“An extremely visual world …a leisurely, sun-soaked trip around the duo’s technicolour paradise.” - Loud & Quiet

SUPPORT: LAU RO

“A hauntingly beautiful portrait of the Brazilian diaspora.” - NPR

With this solo enedeavour, Lau Ro goes back to their roots with an exploration in dreamy bossa nova, ambient folk, and fuzzy tropicalia, with psychedelic electronic elements, and a nod to Música Popular Brasileira.
