lau.ra London, UK
From forging paths in avant-pop and now turning her hand to wonky dance floor heaters,
according to
Billboard Dance "this is what the future sounds like."
lau.ra is the new project from producer, DJ and vocalist Laura Bettinson. You may know Bettinson as 1/3rd of Ultraísta with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. Now Bettinson turns her attention to her own solo electronic music.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!

VERY much into the organic/wooden percussive instrumentation atop grittier heavier techno womps...

Clobbering, nearly industrial bass music with beats as big as the smoldering sun surrounded by charred electronics.

Leftfield club music from this French producer with beats that stumble forward and synths that buckle and pop.

SSA makes out-there techno and electro with a bright, playful feel and sci-fi inspiration.

I haven't heard anything as just completely perfectly formed out of the gate--every decision the right one, what to include but more what to exclude--maybe ever. Don't know who Sault is, but they do not sound like they could be anyone who hasn't paid some dues to get this good. Or signed some Satanic contracts. 100% confidence, and it sounds 110% earned.
