Making weird stuff 'til the cows come home

Liz Lawrence released her new album ‘Peanuts’ on 7th June 2024 via Chrysalis Records. Lawrence describes ‘Peanuts’ as “Cate Le Bon meets Primal Scream going off on one about landowners. It’s learning the names of different trees and sweating over being polite in emails. It’s a petition to stop Elon Musk from space-junking up the atmosphere so we can’t see the stars anymore and it’s a big deep breath after going under.”

For the first time in years, Lawrence wanted to work with a producer for Peanuts. She’d won fans with her two previous self-produced albums Pity Party (2019) and The Avalanche (2021) but felt like this one needed to be ‘touched by someone other than myself’. She started to look at all her favourite records and the same name kept appearing: Ali Chant, who produced Perfume Genius, Yard Act and Aldous Harding. Chant was the perfect choice. The resulting album is as wry and observational as her previous work, but with a newfound sense of compassion. "We are disconnecting from each other at a time when we've never needed connection more. I am afraid that we're losing physical spaces, and community spaces, and a sense of us all being together. More than ever, I think we have to rally against that loss."

All I have is an iPhone to record and edit tracks. Some are ideas and sketches that can hopefully be played in a band... one day, others are just me wasting time on GarageBand with synths and Drum Pads.

Hailing from the South-West of England, TripToTori draws heavily from the atmospheric soundscapes of Foals, London Grammar, and Radiohead. The intricate guitar playing of the band creates layers of nuanced textures that come together to form an aural experience like no other. Combining intricate rhythms and lush melodies, their music offers an expansive journey through soundscapes. 

Live performances from TripToTori are truly captivating and their energy is undeniable, making them a must-see act for anyone who appreciates alternative music. With the combination of their ambient sound, captivating riffs and powerful lyricism, their growing reputation as a modern-day guitar band is ever developing.

2023 is set to be a groundbreaking year for TripToTori as the band is set to release their highly anticipated new singles. Fans of the band have waited eagerly for what promises to be an incredible set of new songs, with a sound that is refreshed and re-invigorated compared to their earlier work.
