Pull Up The Roots presents: LAU and Duotone


LAU

 

After receiving a third consecutive BBC Folk Award for 'Best Band' in 2010 (beating off folk heavyweights, The Unthanks and Bellowhead in the process), thrilling Scots trio, Lau, bring their ground-breaking, progressive take on traditional folk to Shoreditch's Cargo.

 

‘Lau are so special' - The Guardian ****

 

'as trad as you like but starkly gorgeous in parts, warming and wonky in others, like an epic lock-in somewhere suitably remote, peat-smelling and rain-lashed.' - Plan B

 

"A little while back we told you that Lau were the best band in the world... Their music is rooted in traditional reels, jigs and airs that've been played in the pub sessions of Britain, Ireland and those of our Scandinavian and Nova Scotian cousins for longer than anyone can accurately remember. But somehow (in a way we don't entirely understand) Lau have composed their own tunes that are firmly and recognisably rooted in this tradition but are, at the same time, infused with the kind of euphoric mathematics found in the most intelligent techno, and the seemingly instinctive musical dexterity found in the most daring jazz; without actually sounding like techno or jazz... Lau are, at the very heart of everything, a good-time band... there's an infectious chemistry between the musicians... the staggering brilliance of their performance and the thrilling beauty of their songs and tunes would be instantly recognisable to anyone with even half an ear..." - Channel4.com

 

DUOTONE

 

Duotone is the name under which Barney Morse-Brown (cellist for The Imagined Village, Chris Wood's Handmade Life and Eliza Carthy's band) combines looped cello and acoustic guitar with BJ Cole's lap whilst singing his quietly intelligent, crafted lyrics. The result is beautiful flourishes of contemporary folk, with nods toward England's acoustic, minimalist classical and electronic past masters as on his debut album, Work Harder & Some Day You'll Find Her"

 

"hauntingly ethereal" **** (4 stars) SONGLINES

7.30pm Doors. Tickets £12.50 advance or £14 on the door
