Lau Nau - Aphrilis (2023) Hi-Res

Fonal Records and Beacon Sound (USA) will release a new Lau Nau album titled "Aphrilis" on November 10, 2023. The album will be available digitally on all platforms, as well as on black and colored vinyl LP as a special edition. The first single from the album, "Nukahtamislaulu," is available today on all digital platforms.

The title of the Lau Nau's 10th album, Aphrilis, derives from the Latin word aperire, meaning "to open." A fitting verb for the month of the year it is closely associated with — April. And while the images of plants and blossoms coming back to colorful life after a long, cold winter feels appropriate when listening to the rich and lustrous bloom of music on Aphrilis, another definition of open feels even more apt. For under the abundance lies the memory of times of austerity, the friction of hard choices, the acceptance that nothing is fixed and the future is unknown. This literal and metaphorical exploration of complexity and contradiction makes Aphrilis a multi-dimensional antidote for our troubled times, one that emphasizes the quiet and communal over noise and spectacle.
