Laufey worked on her new album A Matter of Time with Aaron Dessner of The National, and the two musicans discovered an interesting link between their lives.
Laufey tells NME that once they started working together, they discovered that not only do they both have identical twins -- sister Julie for Laufey, brother Bryce for Aaron -- they were both born on April 23rd. (In 1976 for the Dessners and 1999 for Laufey and her sister.) Laufey says, “We were like, ‘How crazy is this?’”
Laufey adds that she wanted to work with Aaron because “you can always tell when it’s an Aaron Dessner-produced track. I was so curious to hear what that would sound like with my music. He really challenged me in a different way to think outside the box.”
