The Academy

Description

Lutalo's visceral folk becomes electric on The Academy, the debut album from the multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer from Vermont. Self-produced with Jake Aron (Snail Mail, Protomartyr, L'Rain), The Academy establishes Lutalo as a singular voice of the current indie rock generation. While his 2022 EP Once Now, Then Again showcased Lutalo as a lo-fi acoustic guitar prodigy, The Academy is bigger and bolder, without compromising Lutalo's inviting sense of emotional intimacy, inspired by alternative rock veterans like Thom Yorke and Rob Crow, as well as electronic heavyweights like Aphex Twin and Bowery Electric. With his unique baritone and finesse in crafting a lyrical world, Lutalo goes to the bone, while just beginning to reveal the depth of his art and vision. For fans of King Krule, Interpol, The Smile, Amen Dunes, TV On The Radio, Nick Hakim, Yves Tumor, Rotsam, Nilüfer Yanya, Bon Iver.
