In July 2008, Loau's un-released 1998 debut album "Malaria" was released, titled "Malaria: The Lost Album", featuring "Sick with Love" and "Love Addiction". The album combines the sounds of major cities Sydney and London with traditional instruments from the Pacific Islands. Many of the writing sessions for the album took place in the islands during the recording of world music project Siva Pacifica. The album was named after many of the recording crew were struck by the tropical disease. In August 2009, Loau released "Hard" which contained provocative lyrics exploring the Columbine shootings from the killer's point of view. "Never Let You Down" in October 2010.
