Lau Ro - LAU (Black Vinyl)

Lau Ro - LAU (Black Vinyl) is the second album from the Sao Paulo-born, Brighton-based artist and their first release for Mexican Summer. Presented here on black vinyl, the album is a tender and richly detailed collection of orchestral psych-pop, folk-leaning songwriting and Brazilian-influenced textures, shaped by an enduring love of bossa nova, tropicalia and musica popular brasileira. It is a natural fit for customers who like intimate songcraft with unusual arrangements, gentle experimentation and a warm, reflective emotional centre.

The record was assembled in bursts of energy, and that process gives LAU a distinctive feel: spontaneous but carefully balanced, delicate but never slight. Songs such as Mito do Fim, Feel, O No and Simplesmente introduce a soundworld of soft percussion, flowing guitar figures, strings and airy vocals, while Tecelagem and Conclusao deepen the album's sense of movement and internal reflection. The closing stretch, including Mito do Fim 2, Lighthouse, Um A Mais and Corn Moon, brings together the record's recurring themes of discomfort, transformation, patience and natural resilience.
