‘Dust’ is scheduled to arrive on April 26 via Cosmos Music, and will be their first new music since their 2018 LP ‘Immortelle’. So far, the Swedish/Australian twins have shared another song from ‘Dust’ called ‘Waiting For A Boy‘ in January this year.
Now, Say Lou Lou have released their second teaser of the EP called ‘Wong Kar-Wai’. In a press release, they said the song is inspired by “wishing you were somewhere else, not here, anywhere – that love was like a film, a dream, anything but this tired, sad reality.
“Wong Kar-wai is a director who manages to reflect longing and mystery, a master of composition and capturing how chance encounters can be the fate that you needed.”

In 2018, NME reviewed ‘Immortelle‘ upon release and hailed it worthy of four stars: “At just seven tracks long, this all ends far too soon – but leaves us in no doubt that 2018 is a vintage year for Say Lou Lou, after all.”
NME also spoke to the twins about how ‘Immortelle’ was about “breaking free from boundaries and expectations”: “Us making this record was us going through so many different versions of ourselves.
“In the music community, it can be viewed as something that’s bad when you’re very aesthetically-driven,” said Miranda Kilbey. “You know? Like ‘if you have a strong identity in the fashion world, then surely you can’t have a good or acquired taste in music’. Or ‘you’re two young Swedish twins, so how can you know so much about music?’ Of course I know about music, that’s what I do! Of course I’ve heard these records!’ We love to assume that women who look a certain way, are a certain way.”
