2020 relents… finally some good news. And an antidote to the “Emerald City” earworm that’s been driving me to distraction since the Melbourne and Castlemaine gigs a lifetime ago now!. Luluc will release their fourth album Dreamboat next week, and ‘Emerald City’ is a brilliant first taste. Zoë Randell’s voice is right up front, while some anxious and jittery beats scurry about beneath her. It all sounds very restrained, but there’s actually quite a lot going on when you pull it apart. This track was one of a couple that sees the group again team up with Aaron Dessner on production, and, while it sees the duo retain their identity with strength, it also shows a gentle evolution thanks to some charming new elements.
