LAL impressed me recently with their unique soulful and melancholic sound on their album Warm Belly High Power. If you like your music more leftfield and with a message than you really should invest some money in this album. In the meantime learn more about LAL and their music in the jazz-not-jazz interview with Nick Murray aka Murr.
Q: Your album Warm Belly High Power is available in your homecountry Canada for quite some time now. How content are you with the reactions so far?
Nick Murray: We were able to tour Canada with this record also the CBC (Canadian National Government Owned Radio) has showed us a lot of love. We are content, but we recognize the need for growth.
Q: Warm Belly High Power is your second album. Where’s the difference compared to your debut Corners and where do you see your development as artists?
Nick Murray: Corners, our first record, was all done on a Roland 880 (digital 8 track) with the new record we were able to incorporate more live players. Our new album that we are working on right now will be a combination of the minimal Hip Hop feel and the worldly elements from Warm Belly High Power.
