Lava La Rue releases “Prince Of Bologna” as part of Speedy Wunderground single series

The physical release of “Prince Of Bologna” lands on 30 July as part of Speedy Wunderground’s single series. Label founder Dan Carey first came across Lava La Rue while attending Latitude Festival back in 2021, as he recalls: “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!”

Speaking about the single, Lava La Rue explains: “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,” they continue. “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.”

In line with the series, the 7” release will also feature Carey’s reworking of the track, a dub remix titled “Prince Of Dublogna”.
