ARTIST OF THE WEEK: No.262 - LAULIA

Following on from a wealth of praise from their inclusion on Blood Records’ ‘Girls Against’ compilation, alongside Dream Wife, Hinds, and Courtney Barnett, a special appearance at Camden Rocks Festival, as well as some strong backing from regional BBC radio stations, LAULIA have now announced their signing to Rose Coloured Records with their debut double-A side single ‘13/7’ and ‘Outcast Kids’.

Produced by Tom Hill at Bookhouse Studios in East London, the single is the latest taste of new material from the band since their debut singles ‘Burning Out / Machines’ released March 2019 through Flying Vinyl and cements them as one of the most explosive and engaging emerging outfits this country currently has to offer.

Speaking about their new offering, vocalist/guitarist Lauren Holmes said, "We often feel it’s our job to take care of the people we love, we may even feel we owe it to them for everything they have done for us. But at times, we have to accept that their self-destructive, co-dependant behaviours can begin to take a toll on our lives. This is often quite difficult to see; it’s so easy to be lead down the road with someone, and it’s so difficult to ‘snap out of it’ so to speak. Sometimes it comes down to the choice of loving yourself or loving someone else, and ultimately, we must accept that we can’t help those who don’t want to be helped."

‘13/7’ and ‘Outcast Kids’ are both available to stream and download now through Rose Colour Records and you can check out the former in the player below.
