“Intense and spiritual pop.”
Pitchfork
“A spellbinding blend of pop and avant-garde, sublime songwriting.”
The Guardian
“Auder’s breakthrough record is a great flight of fantasy, one that expands in richness over time.”
DAZED
“Auder’s haunting baritone captures a tender intimacy weighted with melancholy beyond her years.”
Vogue
“Gothic pop that balances raw emotions with reflection-worthy polish.”
FADER
“Auder creates an immersive world where Christian iconography jostles with pagan mysticism, and classical strings fade into menacing trap percussion and frenetic electronic maximalism.”
Interview Magazine
“Sweeping orchestral production and experimentation with more expansive, pop vocal lines…thrilling melodrama.”
THEM
Today, London-based composer, producer, and singer Lauren Auder is sharing “yes”, her first new material since 2023. Written and co-produced with long-time collaborators dviance and Alex Parish, ‘yes’ is a searing love song crafted with uplifting piano chords, acoustic instrumentation and evocative lyricism, building into an ecstatic crescendo.
About the song, Lauren says: “yes feels like breaking new ground for me, pushing further than I ever have into pop and dance music, as I play around with house influenced pianos, Madchester-esque grooves and a tightly packed lyric delivery. The track’s movement expresses the rush of adrenaline, the feeling of time speeding up, the constantly tumbling sensation that comes with falling in love.”
Auder’s baroquely orchestrated pop songs fuse classical, post-rock and experimental elements with contemporary reflections of generational discontent and personal turmoil, resulting in vivid musical portraits which have established her as one of pop’s most singular voices. Auder released her long-awaited debut album ‘the infinite spine’ in 2023 to critical acclaim, which documented how the weight of the world can transform you, following a remarkable run of 3 EPs, 2021’s 5 Songs For The Dysphoric, 2020’s two caves in, and 2018’s Who Carry’s You as well as a myriad of nuanced, poignant singles and collaborations with Vegyn, Celeste, Clams Casino, Caroline Polachek, Boris, Danny L Harle and Wendy & Lisa.
Lauren has also composed music for Virgil Abloh’s Louis Vuitton campaigns, and modelled for Marni, Gucci, Celine, Alexander McQueen, Ann Demeulemeester and Ganni, cementing herself as an auteur across the worlds of music and fashion. Lauren has toured with Deafheaven, Amen Dunes, Christine & The Queens, Celeste and WU LYF and earlier this month supported Famous at the ICA.
“yes” signals the start of a new chapter for Auder, stay tuned for more in the coming months.
