Folklaur is the musical project and alias of singer-songwriter Lauren Elizabeth, who collaborates and records with her brother and producer, <a href="spotify:artist:4OSCKnE2Li9C5JsnL9rvQh" data-name="Justin Scott">Justin Scott</a>, at his studio in New York City.
Folklaur pursued musical theatre and classical voice studies throughout her childhood and teenage years, but quickly felt most comfortable writing her own songs on the guitar in empty basements and bedrooms. During her college years, she was a part of several student bands at Kenyon College in Ohio. She most recently performed with friends as part of an Americana cover band in Paris at locales such as the American embassy. Her music has been described as a "refreshing approach to indie-folk" with subtle echoes of 90s pop.
Folklaur is an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness, an important topic that hits close to home for both her and Justin. In the spring of 2020, they lost their father to suicide, inspiring her single, “At Sea”, in his memory.
Folklaur’s debut EP, “Flight”, is out worldwide on January 5th, 2021. Beneath layers of Scott’s glimmering guitar
riffs and Elizabeth’s airy vocal melodies, these songs follow a cyclical shift between optimism and disappointment, hope and self-doubt. The energetic closer, “Seasonal”, is a reminder of how the resilience of the past can carry us through the present: “Since I lived through it, then I can live through this.”
