Laufey has announced a new album, A Matter of Time. The follow-up to 2023’s Bewitched is set to come out on August 22 via Vingolf/AWAL. The record was co-produced by Aaron Dessner and Spencer Stewart. It’s led by ‘Tough Luck’, which Laufey described as “a fiery song about love gone wrong. I wanted to reveal an angrier side of myself – a side that this unfortunate relationship brought out in me.” Check it out below.
“I’m constantly thinking about classical and jazz, how to properly preserve them and pay homage,” Laufey shared. “For this album. I just wanted to let my heart wander.” The singer and composer added: “People expect a pretty façade of girly clothes, fantastical stories, and romantic music. This time, I was interested in seeing how I could draw out the most flawed parts of myself and look at them directly in the mirror.”
