Lawrence Rothman - The Book Of Law flac album

He continued to work with a diverse group of notable musicians for his 2017 full-length debut, among them Olsen, Pino Palladino (the Who, John Mayer Trio), Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses), Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint), Carla Azar (Autolux), and solo artists Marissa Nadler and Kristin Kontrol (aka Dee Dee of Dum Dum Girls).

While the album itself falls short. The ambition is admirable, but what makes the songs commendable is their refusal to thrive. They are deeply melancholic.

Lawrence Rothman's debut album is an investigation into identity and queerness, says Emma Madden with its eyes on the cosmos. Three years after the first man landed on the moon, David Bowie appeared as Ziggy Stardust on BBC's Top Of The Pops in January, 1972. For Bowie, the notion that something much larger than Earth existed was ultimately subversive. It's clear that Rothman’s ambition is to reach the heights of former queer stardom - an all-star cast enlisted to make The Book Of Law something remarkable. It's produced by the famously histrionic Justin Raisen (Charli XCX, Sky Ferreira, Angel Olsen), with Bowie's director Floria Sigismondi in charge of the noirish music videos. Kim Gordon, Angel Olsen, Marissa Nadler, Duff McKagan feature because they appeared to Rothman in a dream, and because Raisen managed to rope them in.

Lawrence had already finished recording The Book Of Law when their dad made it clear he didn’t approve of the gender-bending, or their nine diverse alter egos - which, instead of explaining, you should experience through these videos. The confrontation affected Lawrence so much they stripped the record of its vocals and rewrote them, this time without hesitating to spill their entire, despair-wrought soul. Listen to The Book Of Law below, and read a conversation with Lawrence about the tumultuous recording process, and why everyone should have a mantra. LAWRENCE ROTHMAN: I kind of dove in. Originally I wasn’t going to do that, but I had this moment where my dad turned into like, the biggest bigot in the world about my gender fluidity and my imagery. The record was done, and then I erased and re-did the vocals after this thing with my dad.
