The concept for The Double Sunrise is very specific, but it's executed brilliantly. Very few of us will experience what it's like to live our life cruising from island to island through crystalline waters on a luxurious yacht. This is why it's handy to have records like Lanu's The Double Sunrise around. It's one of those records that evokes a place and a feeling that most of us only ever dream about. Lanu is the brainchild of restless Melbourne musician Lance Ferguson, who is best known as the leader of soul pop champions The Bamboos (full disclosure: Lance is also an announcer on Double J). His previous work as Lanu has seen him make some slick soulful pop music, but this album has been specifically influenced by the idyllic perception outsiders have of the South Seas and the exotica music inspired by that part of the world.
