Description:
Laura Naukkarinen returns with her 5th album as Lau Nau. Poseidon is a suite of luminous, worldweary songs that exist in a world of all their own, treading the line between chamber folk and experimental pop with a distinctly Scandinavian melancholy. Centered around Lauras beautiful voice and piano, the album also includes a small cast of guest musicians, including cellist Helena Espvall (Espers, Steve Gunn, Damon & Naomi), Swedish composer Matti Bye, and percussionist Samuli Kosminen on harmonium, kalimba and electronics. Each song is a gem of its own, with lustruous melodies spun from the web of seasons, by turns ghostly an

Each song is a gem of its own, with lustruous melodies spun from the web of seasons, by turns ghostly and earthy. In Lauras own words: ""I was playing my grandmothers piano and shortly realised that I was composing songs that were the beginning of a new album instead of the film music I was working on. The songs wanted to be performed by a character called Lau Nau. Its the melancholic, always dreaming part of me that stands quietly on the stage and shares fractured moments with the audience.

He veils us in the fog when the night falls.
