Pictured: Lau Nau. Recording the first ever musical how-to album for DIY luring enthusiasts everywhere.
Laura Naukkarinen passes 5-minute long songs by like short whispers. Her Finnish words don’t quite register, but I can tell she means well. She probably means to give small secrets about the simplicity of her life. She definitely means to suggest a closer look and deeper appreciation for the natural world, things both big and small and a general blending of them all to create a grasp at understanding. And she’s all shushes and over the shoulder glances when you respond too loudly, like you might give away her favorite secret to someone passing by.
Lau Nau just released a new album called Nukuu(Finnish for Sleep) on Locust Music. It’s full of dreamy little wonders like this song, Lue Kartalta.

Yes. This reminds me of another Finnish band I heard named Kemialliset Ystävät (myspace.com/valojuopot). It’s like noise rock that gets under your skin and itches very pleasantly. Lo and behold Lau Nau is their number one friend.
