Lanu is the brainchild of restless Melbourne musician Lance Ferguson, who is best known as the leader of soul pop champions The Bamboos.

His previous work as Lanu has seen him make some slick soulful pop music, but this album has been specifically influenced by the idyllic perception outsiders have of the South Seas and the exotica music inspired by that part of the world.

Sweeping first track ‘Secret Order of the Double Sunrise’ sounds like the best parts of those dusty Burt Bacharach and Henry Mancini records you found while rifling through your grandparents’ living room as a child.

This lush orchestration, mixed with classic pop sensibilities is constant throughout the entire album and works on both the album’s instrumental tracks and with featured singers.
