We
have always been massive fans of Say Lou Lou, so its exciting to let you know
they have released their debut album Lucid Dreaming…
To
celebrate the release, the band have revealed a short film encapsulating the
essence of the album in its entirety.
The
film, set to the band's single Nothing
But A Heartbeat, was devised by the band and directed by Joanna Nordahl. Alongside
the album body of work, inspiration has been sought from Lars Von Trier's
'Melancholia', Hans Zimmer and 'On Being Ill' by Virginia Woolf while drawing
parallels to religious ideology and exploration of mental sanity. The band
appear in a dream-like state, surrealistic and boundless with abstract thoughts
running free – bringing the album's title Lucid
Dreaming truly to life.
The
band explain the idea; ''Dreams are a way for human minds to digest their
memories, and this film is sort of a digestion of our experiences of these past
years as Say Lou Lou."
The
Swedish/Australian self-made duo have already built a massive following in
their home of Scandinavia and today release their long-awaited debut album Lucid Dreaming. A true labour of love,
the album recording was split between L.A., London and their native Sweden, the
influential sounds from each location meshing and permeating through every
note. Working with the likes of Liam Howe (Foxes), Hannah Robinson (Icona Pop,
Lana Del Rey) and Jim Eliot (Ellie Goulding), the finished record is a massive
statement of intent in a stunning debut.
