Chinese-Scottish multi-hyphenate LVRA revisits her acclaimed 2023 Scottish Album Of The Year Award nominated project soft like steel with a first ever physical edition of the release.

The vinyl drops in the middle of a 15-date East Asian tour spanning Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan.

The project sees LVRA dissect diverse lyrical subjects from religion, social media, their love of the London queer clubbing scene and more set to an intense soundtrack that moves between shuddering intense sonic energy to soft undulating whispers.

Born in Edinburgh to Chinese parents, 23-year-old singer and producer Rachel Lu emerged in 2020 under the moniker LVRA (pronounced loo-rah), an artist who draws from the molten core of industrial, hyperpop and deconstructed club music to crystallise a sound that’s both anthemic and experimental.
