After slingshotting from LA to France and finally ending up back in London, Laurel capped 12 months of flux and confusion with her Petrol Bloom EP.
Next came the second half of the project, the bright and buzzy Limbo Cherry, the perky flipside to Petrol Bloom’s glossy anthems. “Both of the records are about me coming of age,” explains the 26-year-old Brit. “They’re about me becoming a woman – so much has changed for me in the past year or two, in terms of me knowing who I am.” Limbo Cherry picks apart the process with devastating accuracy, looking at her younger, more emotional side – the side that Laurel’s not sure if she should let go for good or embrace wholeheartedly.
With a sold out London headline show, and a support tour for the Danish superstar MØ under her belt, Laurel doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. In 2022, Laurel featured on Flume’s critically acclaimed album Palaces alongside Caroline Polachek, Oklou, and Damon Albarn.
Laurel and Flume debuted the song, I Can’t Tell, on the Coachella main stage. Laurel continued to perform with Flume throughout 2022 with appearances on tastemaker stages such as Red Rocks, Governor’s Ball, Austin City Limits, III Points, and Portola.
