Australian duo Luluc have announced their fifth album Diamonds, due September 15 via Community Music, and released the album’s title track alongside a striking black-and-white video, a perfect visual accompaniment to the placid dreaminess of the music.

"The choreography and costume were inspired by and pays tribute to Loie Fuller’s Serpentine dance which she discovered by accident and made popular on the burlesque stages of the early 1900s.  This  mesmerizing dance was one of the first moving images captured on film by the The Lumière brothers in 1896.  For the Diamonds video, the costume was engineered and fabricated by our mother Monica based off of Fuller’s original costume sketches." says directors The Giraffe Sisters on the video.

“I/we want to create expansive, deep worlds that go well beyond the sense of author, and creators, to create musical and lyrical spaces that have layers and (hopefully) intrigue. That reward you when you come back, and that you can enjoy in different moods and modes. Loud or soft. It does feel akin to a kind of diamond mining. It requires going into depths, not always or at all easy, and then getting the idea all the way to something that gleams and glints; and offers a sense of music and light, a sense of the richness that is everywhere if you get your perspective just so.” Zoë Randell says on the music.

A 10-song collection that glides with the kind of harmonic grace that makes each song feel preordained, Diamonds is Luluc’s most elegant and accomplished work to date. It was produced, mixed and recorded by Hassett and Randell in their Brooklyn studio and at Luluc Studios in Victoria, Australia.
Through their 14-year creative partnership, the duo of Zoë Randell and Steve Hassett have carved a formidable niche for themselves with their imaginative folk, successively incorporating new elements as disparate as icy synths and warm brass with each new album. After several Sub Pop releases, collaborations with Aaron Dessner, and tours with J Mascis and more.
