Jonah Parzen-Johnson & Lau Nau follow up their recent studio album A Few We Remember with a new recording, Live In Italy. Released as a double CD edition including both albums and digitally, Live in Italy finds the duo expanding on the studio albums sonic textures.
In April of 2026, Lau Nau (Laura Naukkarinen) and Jonah Parzen-Johnson crossed into Italy separately and made their way by train to meet in Bolzano for their first tour together. There was a bit of the energy of the first day of school. Nervous. When they arrived, they realized they had matching luggage. Two little samsonites, a modular synth, and a baritone saxophone.
When does a memory become a story? Perhaps it’s when the person you shared it with turns around and shares it back. In that moment, it becomes something a little fantastical. Amplified. Alive. A story can live in the world in a way a memory never could. From the moment they began the first concert of the tour, with all the anxiety and excitement of a first day, you could feel the memory of the album coming to life. Eight living characters they could summon, intact, each night.
