for our first set of shows in six months, laura is accompanying sweden's cult of luna down the east coast:
if i had a budget of two words to explain cult of luna to you, then they would be "sludge" and "post", because "sludge" gets you interested, and "post" is so cheap i could probably cash in the rest of the budget and spend it on a packet of sandwiches.
for the logistical centre-types amongst you, here's laura's final packing list for this seven-person, four-day tour (that's 28 person-tour-days, remember):
- lawyer (1)
- gun (1)
and either
- packet of sandwiches (1)
or, depending on market conditions
- "post" (1)
if you have a small amount of cash coming to you through some kind of "post" cash-back offer or mebbes a lil tax break, then why not invest it in what is, eerily, a kind of combination of the two, by purchasing a copy of our e.p. "yes maybe no" from our thrice-beloved partners @ elevation recordings?
Critics agree:
- it's a "recording" that includes "noises"
- yes maybe no is "frenetic, dark, complex and layered"
- "dark, delicate melodies twitch and twinkle before being ripped apart by massive walls of distortion and feedback."
- attendees of laura's shows grunt "like a troupe of whoring sea-donkeys"
our love for you and your whoring sea-donkey troupe is strong,
laura
