Surrey based alternative, indie rock quartet LAULIA are delighted to announce they have signed to Rose Coloured Records for a double A side single titled ‘13/7’ and ‘Outcast Kids’ available from 18th October 2019.
Building on a swell of support following their inclusion on Blood Records’ ‘Girls Against’ compilation, alongside Dream Wife, Hinds, and Courtney Barnett, a special appearance at Camden Rocks Festival, as well as some strong backing from regional BBC radio stations, Laulia are poised to release two new singles with an official release coming mid-October.
The band have unveiled the first track ‘13/7’ today which is available to stream & share here today: https://soundcloud.com/laulia-music/137a/s-d2G9Q
Commenting on the song, vocalist/guitarist Lauren Holmes said: “We often feel it’s our job to take care of the people we love, we may even feel we owe it to them for everything they have done for us. But at times, we have to accept that their self-destructive, co-dependant behaviours can begin to take a toll on our lives. This is often quite difficult to see; it’s so easy to be lead down the road with someone, and it’s so difficult to ‘snap out of it’ so to speak. Sometimes it comes down to the choice of loving yourself or loving someone else, and ultimately, we must accept that we can’t help those who don’t want to be helped.’
Produced by Tom Hill at Bookhouse Studios in East London (Employed To Serve, Night Fight, The Yacht Club) the single is the latest taste of new material from the band since their debut singles ‘Burning Out / Machines’ released March 2019 through Flying Vinyl.
The end-result of an evening of inspired creative synergy, ‘13/7’ was written just days before the band were due to lay down an entirely different track together at their East London studio. A dramatic and heartfelt offering that draws on influence from groups like Wolf Alice, Foals and Slowdive, ‘13/7’ highlights a level of musical maturity and healthy confidence that will set up Laulia to be one of the most exciting prospects of 2019.
In support of the release of ‘13/7’ and ‘Outcast Kids’ Laulia will be on the road with select tour dates throughout the remainder of 2019 with 2020 dates to be announced in due course.

12.10.19 – Reading, The Face Bar
