“Filled with poetry, protest and resilience … When you think of Canadian electronic music with a punk ethos and experimental bent, that’s LAL.” Forbes Magazine
“With Meteors Could Come Down, LAL revel in minimalism, finding fresh ways to blend the au naturel qualities of Kazi's voice and Murray's posthumanist soundscapes.” - Exclaim!
“With its downtempo cinematic sweep and cosmic fatalism, Meteors Could Come Down finds hope in a moment stripped of capitalism’s routine, extending an open hand to show new searchers the way.” - New Feeling

With two remixes of “End Of This World Together” by Phen Ray and Ciel already out, today LAL are sharing the video for the Prince Josh remix of “Still Movements”. The remix will be available to buy and stream on all platforms this Friday, April 16.
“Prince Josh is someone we see all the time, he works out of Easy Life Studios in our building,” says Nicholas Murray. “We usually sit outside and discuss music and all things Toronto past and present. Josh has a really deep knowledge of Toronto music history. We really enjoyed his last record The Joy. It is an absolute pleasure and honour to have Prince Josh do a remix for us.”

MORE ABOUT METEORS COULD COME DOWN
For over two decades, Polaris Music Prize long-listed electronic duo LAL (comprised of Rosina Kazi and Nicholas Murray) have built a catalogue of silvery, internationally-influenced electronica that insists that the dancefloor remain a place of resistance. In the process, they’ve become the backbone of Toronto’s sprawling DIY scene, nurturing and propping up a multi-generational group of artists.

Recorded in the early months of 2020, Meteors Could Come Down finds LAL looking inward, examining the intricacies of their own relationship to understand how to provide care to their community. Experimenting with minimalism and a concise inventory of sounds, the album explores for the potential for open space offered through drums and voice—dually centering on the richly dynamic textures of Kazi’s vocals and Murray’s skilled ear for world-building through silvery synths and drum beats—to hold a great deal of emotive weight.

It advocates for a complicated kind of hope that’s only available when the end feels near: that’s at times slow and grating; confusing and confounding; and urgent and breathless. On Meteors Could Come Down Kazi and Murray capture a lofty anticipation that’s uniquely available to artists who have long been on the frontlines of radical change: hope for the energetic transformation into a new world.
Their 7th album, Meteors Could Come Down captures the spirit of a season fueled by a moment of pause that stoked the embers of revolution. Inspired by road trips along the coast to radical DIY arts scenes in Oakland and Olympia, and Adrienne Maree Brown’s bestselling book Pleasure Activism, Meteors Could Come Down is both their most minimal, and intimate, album to date.
