Lau Nau’s abstract folk is a mosaic of a myriad of instruments that fall where they may, with free open structures, balancing on a thin wire of logical evolution, with surprising harmonies. Still, the songs have strong backbones. Melody is suggested through the contours of a wandering and warm voice. Lau Nau’s debut album is released by the Chicago-based label Locust and is an amazing slice of outdoor sounds, multi-instrumentation, surreal and lush vocals. “The music, compared to reading literature, is a book with the leaves spread in the order of a tree. You get a three-dimensional picture, like nature’s sounds from a human soul.”
Lau Nau is Laura Naukkarinen and her wonderly wonderful friends. So far these helpers have been: Jonna Karanka, Merja Kokkonen, Pekko Käppi, Michael Northam, Tomas Regan and Antti Tolvi, who have performed on the records or in the live shows.

"she seems to be a really bad guitar player." "bad" musicians make the most beautiful music.

I've seen a few of her live performances on youtube and she seems to be a really bad guitar player. It's sad, I can't even get through Painovoimaa, valoa without cringing. I do love the album version though, it's just I wish she'd find someone to atleast setup her guitars and maybe even tune them for her.

Absolutely beautiful. This creates a dream little world in it's own. An eerie, slightly unsettling one, but I have to say, that voice is a soothing presence in the music, despite the Finnish lyrics being foreign to me. Wonderful.
