A.U.R.A releases new single, and announces national tour
A.U.R.A releases Immensely
I, the vivid and rather twinkly third single from the
upcoming album Secret Intelligent Light. In
a statement, lead singer-songwriter Albert Mikolaj describes
the song as “An elegy for rebirth. The song is redolent of
glowing psychedelic pop, almost deliberately subdued by a
euphonic counter-point vocal pattern.” Immensely I is driven by strong drum beats,
punchy bass and afro infused guitar riffs, reminiscent of
Paul Simons’ landmark release, Graceland.
Mikolaj’s lyrics offer a very tender confession, saying of
the verse, “It's a raw reflection of my wild, unbounded
core-self being slowly eroded by the emotional pain of
growth.” To celebrate the forthcoming album
release on Friday 8th of March, A.U.R.A is excited to
announce the SIL Tour which commences Friday 12th of
April. Joined by Ben Lemi (French for Rabbits,
Trinity Roots, Dawn Diver), Deanne Krieg (Ida Lune, Congress
of Animals) and Samuel Austin on live duties, the SIL
Tour will take in some of New Zealand’s favourite
boutique venues, transforming them into the perfect backdrop
to experience this psychedelic folk quartet. Tickets are
available from A.U.R.A – The SIL Tour 12 April
