LAU |

"Again a first for me, I caught some of the bands tracks from their latest album on MySpace. Lau for me take folk music to new heights and since they are all such gifted musicians, their approach to music is fresh, innovative and progressive, with a great ability to improvise and blend in elements of other forms of music, including jazz, at times." |
