Luluc - Sculptor (Jade Green Vinyl)

Luluc have friends in high places. They can count Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney) and Matt Berninger (The National) among their fans, while Sculptor features contributions from J. Mascis, Dirty Three's Jim White and more. Their latest LP is full of plaintive, wistful synth-pop ditties evocative of both Zola Jesus and Angel Olsen.
