Recently, Luluc’s lead-off track “Without a Face” premiered via  Stereogum , who said of the track, “[It] captures the band’s homespun charm in its main melody which sits over spindly strings that move like ripples in still water.” Exclaim  called it “quietly lush,” and  Clash  raved, ““It's a gloriously entrancing piece of music. Zoë Randell and Steve Hassett seem to swirl around one another, the gentle arrangement allowing Randell's beautiful voice full space to express itself.”

Luluc has scheduled a show on Monday, July 14th in Brooklyn, NY at Rough Trade NYC. There will be additional live dates announced shortly.

Luluc’s Passerby will be available on CD/ LP/ DL July 14th in Europe and July 15th in North America.

More on Luluc:
In a world where instant gratification is the norm, patience has become a rare commodity. But for Zoë Randell and Steve Hassett, who make up indie-folk duo Luluc (pronounced Loo-LUKE), letting things unfold in due time not only defines their career trajectory, it also works as a pretty good description of their approach to making music. Music that Sub Pop co-founder Jonathan Poneman describes as "bracing, subtle, tender and magnificent".

So while it may seem like Randell and Hassett’s history is littered with all kinds of good luck—from their initial meeting, to their relationship with The National’s Aaron Dessner, to their deal with Sub Pop, to grabbing the attention of Nick Drake’s producer—being in the right place at the right time isn’t just about fate. It’s about knowing when something feels right and having the confidence that people will respond when they’re ready.

There’s no question that everything these Australians (who split their time between Melbourne and their adopted hometown of Brooklyn) have done in their lives has been leading up to this summer’sPasserby (July 15th), their second album overall and first available worldwide. Co-produced by the band and Dessner, Passerby shows off all of Luluc’s best qualities, retaining the gentle beauty of the duo’s debut, Dear Hamlyn, while adding extra textures built with the assistance of a cadre of impressive players. It’s the trophy celebrating Luluc’s airtight case that good things—no, make that great things—really do come to those who wait (read more at Sub Pop).
