Lauv: ‘Stranger’

The shows are in support of Lauv’s second album All 4 Nothing, which landed in 2022 as the follow-up to acclaimed 2020 debut How I’m Feeling. In an interview with NME, Lauv – real name Ari Leff – said the new album was born from having an “existential breakdown”.

“At one point, I was like, ‘I want to step away from music’,” Lauv told the publication. “And then, I came back around and realised, I don’t feel an innate sense of deserving to be happy.”

“For so much of my life I was just like, ‘All I want to do is make music that connects with a lot of people,” he continued. “And then that happens – and I still feel the same. I don’t feel any better. And [I was] feeling like, ‘What the fuck do I do to feel OK?’”

The album arrived in mid-2022, and Lauv has been on the road for much of this year, recently playing Governor’s Ball in New York. He’ll arrive in Australia following a bunch of tour dates around Asia.
