Thirty One

London’s Lydian Collective will release their second single Legend Of Lumbar on December 1st - hot on the heels of their debut release ‘Thirty One’, which Clash described as “making genre-crashing, boundary-smashing music seem effortless”. It will be available globally on all streaming and download services. 

The band have already attracted a huge online following – with 1.4 million views for their YouTube channel and a host of solo credits between them (from Roots Manuva to popular iOS game Monument Valley). Their unique combination of accessible melodies, accomplished musicianship, hypnotic rhythms and uplifting music has won fans around the world – before they have even released their highly anticipated debut album.

Thirty-One has had a huge reception on Spotify, attracting playlist additions in its first week putting it in front of over 250,000 users. As we speak, the track has been streamed nearly 70,000 times.

Drawing inspiration from Jazz, Electronica, World Music and Film, the band have had early support from key UK tastemakers like Nick Luscombe at Flomotion/BBC Radio 3 – and have played at major Central London venues such as the Festival Hall Clore Ballroom. 

Legend Of Lumbar is the second single from the debut album ‘Adventure’ (set for release in early 2018), and it shows off the band’s manifesto. The band take more of a groove-based approach than they did on Thirty-One, with inspiration from Aaron Wheeler’s electronica alter-ego Laszlo. The killer rhythm team of Ida Hollis and Sophie Alloway lead the way, with another killer melody from Aaron Wheeler and Todd Baker (keys & guitar). Todd was the brains behind the soundtrack for the recent iOS game Monument Valley – and you can hear hints of this in the new single.

Look out for another single which will drop early January, before the flawless debut LP ‘Adventure’ is set free.

Road Warriors - Garage

Cascades continues the series of singles by London’s Lydian Collective, which have been quietly gathering fans and appreciation since September 2017.

The new track moves in a jazz direction, allowing the band to flex their instrumental muscles and explore the outer reaches of their signature harmonies – while the winning melodies of the first two singles re-appear. 

Cascades was composed as a solo piano piece by Lydian Collective’s leader Aaron Wheeler, written on a rainy day with rain cascading from the roof of the studio.

Having experimented with complex electronic sounds with the band he wanted to go back to basics and compose something more simple and organic, making use of acoustic instrument sounds and textures. The inspiration from the jazz world is strong – and makes for a fascinating journey, with twists and turns along the way.

The band’s first two singles - Thirty-One and Legend Of Lumbar have had a huge reception on Spotify, attracting support from significant playlists around the world, driving the streams on both tracks over 200,000 plays. 

Drawing inspiration from Jazz, Electronica, World Music and Film music, the band had early support from key UK tastemakers like Nick Luscombe at Flomotion/BBC Radio 3 – and have played at major Central London venues such as the Festival Hall Clore Ballroom. A series of UK gigs are planned for 2018, including appearances in London and Leicester.

Cascades is the third single from the debut album ‘Adventure’ (set for release in early 2018). You’ll hear Aaron Wheeler’s piano to the fore on this track, backed by the killer rhythm team of Ida Hollis and Sophie Alloway, and Aaron’s co-composer, Todd Baker (keys & guitar).
