Passerby

Description

The mesmerizing second album from the Australian folk duo. Zoë Randell and Steve Hassett, the two Australian members of the folk duo Luluc, caught the attention of Sub Pop co-founder Jonathan Poneman with their debut album. He described their music as "haunting, tender, subtle, and beautiful." The label announced the release of a more accomplished second album, yet one that retains the band's raw musical quality. Especially since "Passerby" was recorded in collaboration with Aaron Dessner, member of The National and a long-time Luluc fan. The result of this collaboration is a beautifully refined 10-track album, filled with lovely, slow melodies and delicate harmonies. From a songwriting perspective, Randell draws her inspiration from travel and a meticulous observation of the world... All her emotion-saturated words ring true, touching upon universal themes of love, longing, and grief.
