Drawling, oozing, vibey alternative rock music that draws on artists such as Lana Del Rey, Arctic Monkeys, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Fleetwood Mac. Behind the name and the electric guitar, you’ll find Danish singer/songwriter and fuzz-loving guitar player Lauritz Carlsen. Dressed in leather jacket and a freshly trimmed mullet he swings by themes like heartbreaks, loss, sorrow and the inevitable and unbearable detour of the human kind – in a way that is best described as melancholic, heavy-hearted, but to-the-point….clean cut and with a pair of tired, dreamy eyes.
The music is covered in gritty and textorous analog soundscapes with many layers, but always with the electric guitar as the main supplement to the songs and vocals. In the studio Lauritz is playing many of the instrument’s himself, but often with the aid of accomplished musicians such as drummers Sterling Laws (Matt Berninger, The War On Drugs) and Silas Tinglef (Trentemøller).
Having previously released 2 EP’s as Lou Z, his debut album is now releasing in November 2024 on the danish indie label Møs Møs. The Copenhagen based musician is a part of different other bands of the local underground rock scene, such as PBSM and Some Speak of the Future.
