Just under a year after the release of their last single, Lava La Rue are back with news of their long-awaited debut album.
NINE8 Collective's star has announced that he will release “STARFACE'' on Dirty Hit later this summer on June 21st, and the album will focus on “the gender-fluid music space of the same name.'' It is said to be a conceptual psychedelic sci-fi romance album. Aliens are sent to Earth to study why humans are so self-destructive. ” Looks good to us…
The 17-track record was produced by Karma Kid and will feature appearances by Audrey Nuna, Yune Pink, BB Sway and more. There is a tracklist for the record at the end of this article.
Along with the record news, Lava also shared a new song, “Push N Shuv,” which takes inspiration from iconic new wave outfit Tom Tom Club. “I wrote ‘Push N Shuv’ five years ago, before COVID-19,” Lava said of the song. “The vocals you hear on this song are my 21-year-old voice, and when I wrote this song in 2019, I knew that if I was going to make an album, I wanted it to sound like this. I literally spent years developing that sound. We've been honing it, and it felt only fitting that this song be the one to launch the album.”
Additionally, “Push N Shuv” also comes with a video co-directed by Lava and Claryn Chong in association with MrMr Films. Check it out below.
