London's Leaving Me

01 Every Heartbeat

02 1974

03 Hopes Set High

‘Like John Candy’ is this year’s holiday gift from Nottingham indie favourites Lorna. 

Wrapped in rich, colourful layers and tied in a bow of classic Christmas nostalgia, ‘Like John Candy’ draws influence from dreamy winter afternoons, the snow white wall of Spector sound, the spacious textures of Slowdive and the deep, crisp and even vocals arrangements of The Arcade Fire.    

Lyrically the track pays tribute to some of the greatest on screen icons of the festive period, from Donna Reed to Phoebe Cates. The narrative also touches on important contemporary themes urging social and political tolerance and acceptance - the ‘‘lights on in our hearts’.

Recorded at the band’s own ‘Winnetka Studios’ in Nottingham, ‘Like John Candy’ is the first Lorna song to feature all 6 members of the band singing. The trumpet solo is courtesy of guest Will Banks and the track was mastered by Martin Gisborne in Vancouver.

The video, starring young actor Ryan Pickard (Suffragette, Dad’s Army,  The Brothers Grimbsy) is a classical Christmas adventure perfectly reflecting the song’s values of tolerance and activism. Written by the band, it was filmed by Mark Rolfe and with assistance from Jamie and Debbie Pickard (also depicted as Ryan’s on screen mum)and Richard Leverton.

The video is live now at: https://youtu.be/KHt1kvKc3AM
