About LAVA LA RUE
LAVA LA RUE, the project of Ava Laurel, grew out of the Ladbroke Grove area of West London and the Nine8 Collective, a loose crew of rappers, singers and visual artists that also launched Biig Piig. The early material was bedroom-recorded rap and R&B, laid-back and lo-fi.
Over a run of EPs the sound drifted toward guitars, chorus pedals and psychedelic soul, with the vocals moving between half-sung verses and rapped cadences. The debut album Starface carried that shift through, keeping the loose, head-nodding drum patterns of the earlier work under its washed-out guitar pop. The project also takes a hands-on approach to its own visuals, directing and styling much of its imagery.
