aur’s debut album, Nightbloom, is a journey into the hush of darkness; under oceans and through underworlds, in sweet whispers and sultry seductions, in earnest offerings to the gods. With this project, laur invites listeners into a world where darkness and light coalesce, vulnerability and strength intertwine, and the beauty of the night unfolds in all its mysticism and complexity. Explorative and genre-defying, Nightbloom blends elements of pop, experimental electronic, and alternative r&b. The production is lush and atmospheric, creating an expansive sonic landscape. To embellish this world, laur invites an array of musicians to enliven her compositions ranging from guitar, violin, shamisen, french horn, and upright bass. With a voice that is hauntingly delicate, laur’s storytelling immerses listeners in the complexities of love, longing, and growth amidst the gentle embrace of a long dark night.

"Smoke" is about journeying through the complexities of life and finding meaning in the midst of chaos. It speaks to cycles of fog and clarity, the beauty of not-knowing, and the sacredness of letting go. Smoke becomes both veil and signal, obscuring and revealing, drifting through transitions where the spiritual and earthly meet in movement, transformation, and release.
