(Amaya Laucirica)

Reminiscent of the whimsical melodies of The Go-Betweens and harmonious soundscapes of Cocteau Twins, “All Of Our Time” is the work of seasoned artist Amaya Laucirica, someone who is still perfecting their sound four albums in.

This wistful ballad is taken from Amaya’s upcoming album Rituals begun in 2015 whilst residing in Berlin. The record is a personable and intimate exploration of themes ranging from time to love, all packaged in Amaya’s unique blend of rich songwriting and multi-layered instrumentation.

On her return to Australia, Amaya built a band from members of The Devastations and Lowtide amongst others and recorded/produced Rituals with John Lee, known for his work on Channel 10’s hit show Offspring starring Asher Keddie.

The product of this collaboration is an expansive and complex piece of music that deftly moves from sparse moments to intricate breakdowns with the assuredness of a musician at the prime of her artistic capabilities. Rituals is a major statement and fittingly so for a debut international release.

Rituals is out 2 March via Opposite Number.
