Hear a New Laucan Tune

Leave a comment

Many times I’ve touched on the songwriting prowess of Laucan, but I’d really like to turn my attention to his voice this go round. There’s obviously something striking in its operatic tones, and it reminds me of the first time I heard Jeff Buckley…wondering how some of those notes could be hit so cleanly. This is a short one, with minimal production other than guitar strums and orchestral touches, but I think you get the picture: Laucan is worth your time. His debut LP FramesPerSecond comes out July 21st via Sunday Best.

Gentle New Laucan Tune

Leave a comment

Laucan has been on my radar for some time, and we even encouraged folks this year to catch him at SXSW. He’s back with a song from his debut album, and it’s just as stunning as we’ve come to expect. It takes on a traditional folk vibe, working melodic vocals over gently strummed guitar and light percussive notes. For me, the texture of strings in the background elevates the tune, stepping in line with pounding drum hits as the song’s natural tension pushes forward as the song fades to a close. FramesPerSecond will be out on August 21st via Sundays Best…and it might just bring you your favorite new folk musician.
