"Pro tip: if you wanna win us over, particularly in a folk milieu, strings will have us melted in no time. So it’s a good thing that German-born, London-based Lena Laki employs them to hugely devastating effect on her studio debut Take Me With. It’s a slow-burning, spare number that takes its melancholy to new levels with the addition of that doleful violin, while Laki sings with the most earnest sentiment. A fine introduction." (PressPLAY, March 2016) All of the five songs included in this EP have developed over time through various band formations, taking on different arrangements, in some cases even different lyrics. The product of countless daydreams, a few epiphanies and a lot of hard work, Take Me With is testament to Lena’s musical talent as much as to her artistic commitment. Brave and original, haunting and instantly addictive, her Debut EP bears simultaneously that ageless quality of an old favourite and the inventiveness of that cool indie, folky album we pride ourselves on discovering first.
