Lal
Meteors Could Come Down
For over two decades, Polaris Prize longlisted Toronto's downtempo soul saviours 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, "Meteors Could Come
Down" explores for the potential for open space offered through drums and voice--dually centering on the richly dynamic
textures of Kazi's vocals and Nicholas 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.
