Lanu - Her 12 Faces (2011)

'her 12 faces' on tru thoughts, is the stunning new album from producer / guitarist lanu, aka lance ferguson, the composer, bandleader and creative force behind acclaimed australian funk outfit the bamboos. drawing on his passion for a sonic world where beat culture collides with indie, dream pop, lounge and folk music, this solo record marks a stylistic point of departure for the prolific musician. lanu's vision is completed by the captivating vocals of megan washington - one of australia's biggest and brightest new stars, whose recent solo album went gold in australia and saw her win two aria awards (equivalent to brits / mercury prize) for best breakthrough artist and best female artist. she has just signed to mercury in the uk and looks set to replicate that success here.
