Lava La Rue on “Better:”

“I approached it in the way I learned through coming up in NiNE8: making it feature-heavy,” they say. “I’ve gone out of my way to get a featured artist that is a part of every continent or culture that influenced my music taste, from alt K-pop in Korea, to psychedelic Chicano music, to the Irish music scene, to my London family.”

STARFACE is described as a conceptual psychedelic sci-fi romance album centered around the narrative of an eponymous gender-fluid musical space alien sent to planet Earth to study the reasons why humans are so self-destructive. This thematic exploration adds an intriguing layer to the album, promising listeners an immersive experience that goes beyond the boundaries of conventional music storytelling. It’s an expansive indie album, where Lava brings in multiple featured artists from across the globe, blends and bends genres, and co-directs an entire universe of visuals. “Making this album felt like making a movie,” they say. “It felt like I’d assembled a team that I’d wanted to assemble for ages.” The album includes collaborations with Cuco, tendai, Audrey Nuna, Nine8, Feux, So!YoON!, yunè pinku, and bbsway, Lava even managed to procure a spoken word moment from none other than the iconic Courtney Love, on the album track “Change”.
