“Reverie on Norfolk Street” taken from the Luluc album “Passerby” available from Sub Pop Luluc Splitting time between their native Australia and their adopted home in Brooklyn, singer-songwriter Zoë Randell and guitarist Steve Hassett create luxuriously serene music that floats above the normal rhythms of contemporary life. Wistful melodies pull listeners deep into the dreamscape of their “finely wrought modern folk tunes”.

Having opened for Lucinda Williams, José Gonzalez, and Fleet Foxes, they collaborated with The National’s Aaron Dessner on the 2014 album Passerby, which won places on numerous “Best of 2014” lists.

Listening to this record by Australia’s Luluc more than most other albums this year. These songs feel like they’ve always been around the simple beauty in Zoë Randall’s voice and the underlying tension and support offered by guitarist Steve Hassett create a perfect vehicle for storytelling. “Passer By” was co-produced with The Nationals Aaron Dessner in Brooklyn (where the duo lived for half this year), its a quiet album filled with gentle surprises and a beautiful aura of calm.
