Introducing L.A.B. is a compilation album released by New Zealand band L.A.B. Originally released in Europe in October 2023 as a sampler to promote their European tour, the album received a wide release in New Zealand in December 2023, reaching number one the following month.

Production

[edit | edit source]

In October 2023, L.A.B. held their first performances in the Northern Hemisphere,[1] when they performed shows at the Paradiso in Amsterdam,[2] and the O2 Forum Kentish Town in the United Kingdom.[3] Introducing L.A.B. was produced as a sampler to commemorate the shows, and sold only in European territories.[1]

The album features two songs from L.A.B. (2017), three tracks from L.A.B. III (2019), three from L.A.B. IV (2020), one from L.A.B. V (2021), and "Take It Away", the band's 2022 single from their to-be released sixth album. No songs from L.A.B. II (2018) feature on the album.

Release and promotion

[edit | edit source]

The album was released on 14 October 2023 on vinyl in Europe.[3] This was followed by a wide release in New Zealand on 15 December, where the album was released on vinyl, streaming and as a digital download,[1] where the album debuted at number four,[4] reaching a peak of number one in early January.[5]
