Lutalo - Academy [CD]

Lutalo's highly visceral folk goes electric on 'The Academy,' the Vermont multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer's debut LP. On 'The Academy,' Lutalo embraces a literary approach to self-referential songwriting, turning memories from their adolescence into impressionistic folk and rock compositions that are equal parts searing and vulnerable. With their unique baritone and finesse for lyrical world building, Lutalo cuts to the bone-while only just beginning to reveal the depth of their artistry and vision.
