Luminelle Recordings, for those who don’t know, is a joint venture between the music blog Gorilla vs. Bear and Fat Possum Records—a collaboration among quality mammals bringing us some of the best dreamy art pop of our time. Although recent releases by Jackie Mendoza, Lisel, and MUNYA have solidified their status as a label to watch, it all started with the garage rock spitfire of then-sixteen-year-old Hana Vu’s 2016 album Sensitive.
Three years later, Vu is back with her sequel to the interim How Many Times Have You Driven By EP, which relocated her sound from the garage to the bedroom. The Nicole Kidman / Anne Hathaway double EP carries this shift in sound to new levels, as modeled by the lush pop production of lead single “At the Party.” Equipped with a slightly surreal video documenting an all-too-familiar post-party hangover, a jaded Vu contemplates the futility of feeling spiteful.
Nicole Kidman / Anne Hathaway is out October 25 via Luminelle. You can pre-order it here. Catch Vu on tour opening for Nilufer Yanya at the dates below.
