About the song, Auder offers, “we2assume2many2roles is a song about contradiction. How in denying the clashing aspects of our being pushes us further from understanding. to be full is to be at peace with the confused and confusing.”
The release of “we2assume2many2roles'' signals that a new body of work is on the horizon, which will follow a remarkable run of 3 EPs - 2021’s 5 Songs For The Dysphoric, 2020’s two caves in, and 2018’s Who Carry’s You as well as a myriad of nuanced, poignant singles and collaborations with Celeste, Clams Casino, Caroline Polachek, Danny L Harle, and more. Initially a member of the experimental beatmaking and SoundCloud rap scene from which her early recordings formed, the new music is her clearest evolution as a songwriter, storyteller, composer and artist. Woven together by this community of support, she is crafting her most honest and immediate work to date.
Auder's baroquely orchestrated pop songs fuse classical and post-rock elements with contemporary themes of generational discontent and personal turmoil, resulting in vivid musical portraits. The early EPs helped define what would become the foundation and sonic palette for Lauren’s forthcoming debut album. Auder’s unique vision and take on pop music was met with early critical acclaim with Pitchforkpraising their debut True Panther single “The Baptist'' as “Intense and spiritual pop” and The Evening Standard calling it “Irresistible Neo-Gothic pop.” Spending these last few years working with close collaborators like Dviance, Jessica Winter, and Alex Parish, Lauren has been flourishing into the artist ready to live up to the visionary potential that coursed through her early releases.
"we2assume2many2roles" was produced by Jessica Winter, mmph, Alex Parish, Lauren Auder, Dviance and written by Auder, Winter, Sae Han, and Sylvain Gerboud and is available everywhere via True Panther Records (King Krule, Celeste, Grace Ives, oklou).
