LAXMI are an electronic pop duo using the UK underground  and sampling city soundscapes to paint dark abstract pictures and sparkling, otherworldly horror stories.

The Colour is about a lust for gold.

”If Kate Bush and the XX mated in orgiastic abandon; LAXMI would probably be the result” Jess – Shambala

 ‘Rules made by men who never sleep” EP Out: February 2015


Formed earlier in 2012, comprising Singer Lou Barnell and Guitarist/Producer Stergin (www.stergin.com).

"I WANNA BE YOUR BLOOD" - Frustrated Voodoo Fuckery

"Absolutely Huge. Dark, sexy, sassy and massive. I'm totally floored-we love it. Can't wait to dance to this at 3am through some huge speakers" 
(Mark Del: Nusic Nottingham)

''This sultry piece of brooding electro-pop climaxes to intense harmonies and sexy soundscapes that are quite unlike anything I've heard before. It's the perfect combination of light and dark . Angelic vocals, and twisted, brilliant, beats'' 
(Sam Nahirny: Left Lion Magazine)

Lyrics 

I Wanna Be Your Blood
I Wanna Be Your Brain
I Wanna Run Through Your Fingers
And Run Through Your Veins
And When You're In Me
I Wanna Know What It's Like
I Wanna Feel Myself
Squeezing You Tight

Lyrics

Waking from my sleep eyes in front of me

You never know who be watching at you
Your baby not be safe enough when he be in the  room
You never gonna be calm and soothe
You never know your enemy be watching at you

Waking from my sleep eyes in front of me

The day before he left you know he broke every limb
You cant be calling police because they be blind to him
You be biting and be scratching and be sink or be swim 

If you stack your chips up they will follow you, the dice is loaded against you boy

Waking from my sleep eyes in front of me

You have to watch the monkey before monkey catchy you. He hears no evil, sees no evil, then he hits you.
Can you hear me cry in  my sleep? The ball and chain be round my ankle dragging me deep 
The world it be a big fish and it swallow you one day and when you 6 feet under it will eat you. Its gonna eat you its gonna eat you.

The father and the son and the holy spirit one and the fever and the flame aint gonna save you one day.  Because youre gonna have to pay.

See the angel in the marble and you carve until you set it free.
Because you just be taking just be taking never be making me  believe.

LYRICS

Filthy jokes then you follow me
Maybe i should not wear these jeans.
Grab me up and then you yell at me.
Maybe I should not walk the street.
F%^*&&(x what did you say to me?
Maybe I should just silence me.

18 years 6570 days since I realised that I somehow failed to behave.
Because you follow me
Spit at me
Make me feel Im not worthy
Because you follow me
Spit at me

If its bad enough then its bad enough and then I'll refrain.

Filthy jokes then you follow me
Maybe i should not have worn these jeans
Grab me up and then you yell at me.
Maybe I should not walk the street.
You're my bitch and I will whistle to thee.
Maybe I should just silence me.
Silence me.

LAXMI - Silence Me (feat. Dirty Freud)

Bass driven slabs of politically charged pop.

Featured on Tom Robinson's Saturday Night show on BBC6 Radio, and NTS, Scroobius Pip, and The Smith's Mike Joyce Presents.
