The album release has been preluded by a run of teaser tracks and videos; The latest being Lay Down, which sees Lail take a late night stroll through London, shot by photographer Flo Kohl.
Others being the rock‘n’roll candour of recent single When We Grow Up, the endearingly witty Milo and a dashing ode to songwriting hero Leonard Cohen 1934 ("A Song For Leonard Cohen") - which together gained radio support from the likes of Jarvis Cocker (6 Music), John Kennedy (Radio X) and Mark Radcliffe (Radio 2).
“A cool-as-hell depiction of youthful insecurity matched to infinite possibility.” - Clash
“With hints of Courtney Barnett, Jonathan Richman and even Lou Reed's solo work, Lail is one to keep an eye on.” - The 405
“Sparky melodies and lyrics full of warm wit and wry domesticity.” - Time Out
The Vinyl Factory proudly announces Lail Arad’s second album, The Onion. Co-produced between a snowy winter in Geneva and a summer heat wave in NYC, the album showcases a striking marriage of assured maturity and childlike spirit.
On each of the 500 inner sleeves, Lail has hand-written a unique lyric from the songs in the album. These lyrics have also been published by The Society Club into a limited edition lyric book for the release.
