Well, this is the way to spend a Friday afternoon… We’ve got the latest single from Bella Union darlings Lawrence Arabia for you to download… for FREE!
Lawrence Arabia is the pseudonym of James Milne, born 1981 in Christchurch, New Zealand. James has already established a rich musical resume as a former member of the Brunettes, The Ruby Suns and one time touring member of Okkervil River. He has also produced for films and theatre and wrote the score for the indie film hit, Eagle vs Shark.
‘Beautiful Young Crew’ is his new single and the first track to be taken from Chant Darling, his UK and Bella Union debut, tinged with lazy tropical rhythms and witty lyricism. It’s good. Very good.

I love Lawrence Arabia don’t get me wrong. But I can’t let him take all the credit for the Eagle vs Shark soundtrack which he actually co-wrote with The Phoenix Foundation (Another fab NZ band!).
Ya’ll gotta check out the video for Beautiful Young Crew as well, it’s beautiful and weird and you just can’t help but keep watching.
Yaye nice post :)and thanks TLOBF and Bella Union!

In response to Steph’s comment (posted: November 21st, 2009 at 9:30 pm). Lawrence Arabia didn’t co-write the Eagle vs. Shark soundtrack with Phoenix Foundation, however one of his songs – 80’s Celebration which is a Reduction Agents song written by James Milne (aka Lawrence Arabia) featured on the soundtrack.
