Joshua Burkett & Lau Nau "~" CD (Akti)
Digital/CD
Edition of 200 copies
In the vast tapestry of post-covid musical collaborations, certain threads intertwine to create patterns both dull and mesmerizing. Latter being the case with "~", the forthcoming CD from the transatlantic duo of Joshua Burkett and Lau Nau, set to be released by Akti Records on May 1st in a edition of 200 copies.
Joshua Burkett, hailing from the U.S., has long been a master of introspective soundscapes, weaving delicate guitar work with an almost hermetic sensibility. His previous endeavors, such as "Gold Cosmos", has showcased a vast skill for crafting universes that, while being intimate, resonate with the cosmic depths.
On the other side of the globe, Finland's Lau Nau has been enchanting listeners with her ethereal compositions. Her album such as "Nukkuu" and "Puutarhassa" serves as a testament to her ability to transform the everyday experience into the magical, much like a photographer capturing the strong and sublime in fleeting moments.
The convergence of these two artists in "~" is nothing short of transformative. Despite the geographical chasm separating Josh and Lau during "~" creation, the album exudes an intimacy that belies the miles. Lau Nau's Finnish-sung vocals float effortlessly over Burkett's intricate guitar melodies, creating a soundscape that is both foreign and familiar at the same time.
So, as May 1st approaches, consider setting aside a moment to immerse yourself in the world that Burkett and Lau Nau have conjured. In the delicate interplay of their longstanding artistry, you might just find a reflection of the profound within the simple, the infinite within the finite.
