Conceived in studios of Los Angeles and Paris, WILL LAUT is a duo led by Frankie Gothard, aka COH, known for his role in the computer avant-garde scene of the late 90s. The band's debut single, 'NOT THE DAY (TO DIE)' is set for release in February 2024, followed by an EP and a full album later that year.

The project draws on COH's earlier collaborations with vocal performers like John Balance of Coil, Cosey Fanni Tutti of Throbbing Gristle, and fashion designer Ann Demeulemeester.

The duo's singer and frontman William Laut, once a Eurovision contender, has a diverse musical background, ranging from working with children's choirs to composing rock anthems, and organizing Asian music showcase festivals.

WILL LAUT's music is a blend of ambient pop, noir minimalism, and synthesizer tango, featuring atmospheric textures, minimalist rhythms, and haunting crooner-style lyrics.

"If you watch Will Laut’s music video for their latest single, Lost & Found, you might think you’re about to start a horror movie or even a trippy Gaspar Noé film"

Metal Magazine

"A poignant Bowie-esque electro-pop that harks back to his collaboration with Nine Inch Nails for its musical approach that flirts with industrial music"

Boulimique De Musique

"Their music invites listeners into a world where synthesizer-driven tango and experimental melodies meet to create
an immersive experience"

It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine

"Fronted by Laut’s crooning pop/rock vocals, the EP offers up a mix of styles – from darkly ambient pop to minimal rhythmic atmospheres, evocative of Gothard’s aforementioned collaborations with COIL"

Regen Magazine

"Drawing inspiration from COH’s previous ventures with luminaries like John Balance (Coil) and Cosey Fanni Tutti (Throbbing Gristle), the EP promises a sonic journey through minimalist rhythms and evocative vocals"
