Things are hotting up for Laroca in advance of the release of their debut album, Friends In Far Away Places which hits the shops on 1st May. The first taster from the album, and the third in Just Music?s download only EP series, EP1 (pictured), is scheduled for 20th March and features three sumptuously cinematic gems - Looking Like Lions (now playing), La Glorieta and Theme Flamboyant. La Glorieta has already been picked up by a major US TV show and all three tracks, as well as other tracks from the album, have received major airplay across the world.

Laroca have been invited back to Europe?s finest chill out festival, The Big Chill (Sat 5th Aug), as well as The Secret Garden in Cambridge (Fri 18/Sat 19th Aug) and they?ll be headlining at Acoustic & Beats, Just Music?s new label night which launches on Thurs 11th May. Keep checking back for details of further live and DJ dates as they're announced.

The buzz surrounding Friends In Far Away Places is growing fiercely with reviews/comments including phrases like:
'I adore this album'
'As good a debut as I have heard for some time'
'There?s something for everyone'
'A magical piece of work'

Don?t take our word for it though, you can check out all 3 EP1 tracks for yourself on MySpace or simply tune in to one of the online radio stations which are currently playlisting album tracks?.
