Lava La Rue has shared new single “Prince Of Bologna”. The song is released as part of Speedy Wunderground’s single series, with a limited 7” release due out 30th July 2026. The track follows Lava’s recent EP Do You Know Everything (D.Y.K.E), which was released via BMG earlier this year.

Speedy Wunderground founder and producer Dan Carey (Black Midi, Squid, Been Stellar) first discovered Lava while attending a festival. He says “I was wandering around LatitudeFestival in 2021 and came across Lava La Rue, and watched their set. When it finished, I remember thinking that I’d seen the coolest person ever. I wanted to make a record with them… and 5 years later, I finally got to make a Lava La Rue Speedy Single!”

The track was written and co-produced with Tomasso Medica (Husky Loops), and is an ode to overheard conversations with lyrics such as “I think Turnstile is for girls”, “I’m rejecting my OBE”, and “I am famous! On Reddit!”.

Speaking on the single Lava says, “Prince of Bologna is lyrically a speed date of conversations I’ve overheard. sort of like a love poem to getting fragments of other people’s opinions in the smoking area of the George Tavern.

Tommaso, my dear friend from Bologna, had found a beat up 70s Italian organ with a built-in vintage drum machine that we pretty much jammed the whole initial idea on in 30 mins at 1am in his flat in Tulse Hill.

I showed the idea to Dan Carey, and he told me to get the band in his studio to flesh it out into a full Speedy Wunderground single – straight recorded live on to tape as a full band, lights off, yada yada.”

the 7” release will also feature a dub reworking by Dan Carey titled “Prince Of Dublogna”.
