LAU and long time collaborator Ends 84 have done it again. A masterful depiction of a broken relationship wrapped in an ear candy production and effervescent groove. The high energy drum patterns and synth stabs are upbeat and full of energy, creating a meaningful contrast with the lyrics, full of regret and sorrow.
Comparison to Shura and HAIM are inevitable, since these artists borrow extensively from early Madonna or 80's chart topping tracks. LAU's take on the sound is fresh and original by bringing her sound closer to a more purist synthwave and retrowave aesthetic.
Like a chapter in LAU's book of life, True is looking at the broken relationship with a more reflective outlook. You can hear how the passing of time has cleared the fog and memories are revealing the true nature of said relationship. They say truth will free yourself, this is what true art sounds like.
