From Sub Pop Records<\/a>, the label behind the album\u00a0currently streaming<\/a> through my headphones: Luluc\u2019s \u201cPasserby.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n In a world where instant gratification is the norm, patience has become a rare commodity. But for Zo\u00eb Randell and Steve Hassett, who make up indie-folk duo\u00a0Luluc<\/a>\u00a0(pronounced Loo-LUKE<\/i>), letting things unfold in due time not only defines their career trajectory, it also works as a pretty good description of their approach to making music. Music that Sub Pop co-founder Jonathan Poneman describes as \u201cbracing, subtle, tender and magnificent\u201d.<\/p>\n So while it may seem like Randell and Hassett\u2019s history is littered with all kinds of good luck\u2014from their initial meeting, to their relationship with The National\u2019s Aaron Dessner, to their deal with Sub Pop, to grabbing the attention of Nick Drake\u2019s producer\u2014being in the right place at the right time isn\u2019t just about fate.\u00a0It\u2019s about knowing when something feels right and having the confidence that people will respond when they\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n The wait is over. The world is ready to hear Luluc quiet and clear<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
