Born and raised on the mean and angry streets of Wexford, Ireland, LAUX is a self-taught, self-made, self-tortured, self-ee of a uniquely creative hellraising striver who through his music, philosophy, hobbies, cooking ability and the power of his mind, creates raw, emotionally-connective, painful and always transformative music. No listener is EVER the same after hearing a LAUX ditty. People are always made better, taller, stronger, faster, meaner, tougher and more alive as soon as they hear LAUX’s mellifluous tones.
When his last POWERFUL release, ‘Rain’ (above), landed LAUX a publishing deal with Sony, song placement on the best Netflix shows and all the money he could ever want or dream of spending, Laux knew it was time to unveil ‘A Long Way from Love’ (below), the second track from his unmatched debut EP Rain.
When asked, LAUX states that “I wrote ‘A Long Way from Love’ back in late 2017 during a period of heartbreak and confusion. The song is about me trying to move on from what I thought was a broken relationship and something that could easily be replaced, only to realise that what we had was irreplaceable and just “A Long Way from Love”.
Drawing on and inspired by the likes of David Gray, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Gerard Butler, Seamus Heaney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ben Howard in his sound and style, LAUX continues to consistently crash cinematic compositional couplets with moving melodies, mixed metaphors, and mondo musical manifestations made to transport music mavens through movies of the mind based on his arrangements, inflections and words.
