Eric Chenaux is a Canadian guitarist known for his unique and captivating musical style. With influences ranging from folk to experimental, Chenaux has carved out a distinct sound that sets him apart from his contemporaries. His intricate guitar work and soulful vocals have earned him comparisons to artists such as Sandro Perri, Black Ox Orkestar, and Oren Ambarchi.

Chenaux's music is both innovative and accessible, combining elements of avant-garde experimentation with heartfelt melodies. He has collaborated with renowned musicians like David Grubbs, Bill Orcutt, and Emmanuelle Parrenin, further showcasing his versatility as an artist.

Listeners can expect to be transported into a world of sonic exploration when experiencing *Eric Chenaux's* music. Whether it's the ethereal sounds of Laura Cannell or the introspective compositions of Richard Youngs, fans of experimental folk will find much to appreciate in Chenaux's discography.

Say Laura is the follow-up to Slowly Paradise (2018) which landed Chenaux on the cover of The Wire among other accolades. The new record by Eric Chenaux is his most immaculate and pristine. Say Laura perfectly incarnates the counter-intuitive interplay of instrument and voice that Chenaux has been revealing and revelling in throughout the past decade: his gently unhinged juxtaposition of resplendently smooth, seductively assured singing and puckish, frazzled, thoroughly destabilized guitar could come from no other musician. The five wandering, wondering ballads on Say Laura bring Chenaux's semi-improvised but keenly intentional songwriting to its fullest, clearest, warmest and coolest articulation; uncompromising and generous, hyper-specific and loose, spartan and luxurious, elemental and ornate.
