Luluc‘s Zoë Randell and Steve Hassett came to NYC via Melbourne, Australia, and have been winning over audiences through constant performances, mostly in the Lower East Side. The band has an austere and genuine character, which is a rarity in the NYC music scene. Randell sings a beautiful alto and plays a parlor guitar from the 1890s, while Steve plays a nylon string from the ‘50s. The band is very much focused on the craft of songwriting, putting meticulous detail into the studio sound. Since the album’s release, the duo has begun to taste commercial success, touring with Fleet Foxes, Jose Gonzalez and Lucinda Williams. – Read Alex Borsody interview with the band here.
