Søren Lorensen share tender new track "Time Machine"

Søren Lorensen, the duo made up of Aqualung's Matt Hales and Golfrapp's Davide Rossi, have shared new track 'Time Machine" from their forthcoming debut album Lake Constance.

"Time Machine" is the second single to be lifted from Lake Constance, after last month's lead single "Escape Goat".

Hales and Rossi have been working on Lake Constance for the past five years.

While collaborators normally come together through common interests and unexpected meetings, Søren Lorensen became a project after Matt Hales appreciated Davide Rossi's knitwear. Hales explains, "I really liked the jumper he was wearing that his mum had made him."

Søren Lorensen was picked as their band name after Hales' children had been watching tv show Charlie and Lola in which Lola’s best friend is an imaginary person called Soren Lorenson. Charlie and Lola creator Lauren Child gave the duo permission to use the name, and even agreed to illustrate their album artwork.

Their debut album Lake Constance was created after Rossi sent over a library of string loops to Hales. The Aqualung musician says, "It was instantaneously gripping. They were all exquisitely made and beautiful sounding - normally you don't get access to that kind of quality work without really paying for it or it being a massive undertaking. Every single little snippet was so evocative."

"Time Machine" is out now. Søren Lorensen's debut album Lake Constance will be released 3 April 2020.
