Our Song of the Day comes from a video filmed by Baylis Gray at the Lau-Land Festival from 2014. Lau and Anais Mitchell perform a beautiful rendition of Dyin’ Day which featured on her 2012 album Young Man in America, an album inspired by the recession and the uncertainty that it brought with it – as well as the social irresponsibility.
