Indira May's captivating blend of genres, which draws inspiration from a wide variety of musical legends, including Billie Holiday, Joni Mitchell, Radiohead, Sampha, Ravyn Lenae, and many more, has garnered attention and made her ‘one to watch’ in 2023. 

Her work in both music and film has attracted attention from Link Up TV, Girls In Film, She Said So and Polyesterzine, earned her plays on BBC Radio One and Kiss FM, along with multiple features on Apple Music and Spotify playlists like the popular ‘New Music Friday’. 

Indira's love of electronic music has led to successful collaborations with Jaded, one of the UK’s hottest electronic dance groups, and also underground garage producer, Skelecta. Their new track ‘Dreaming’ was picked up by Jaguar on BBC Radio 1, and ‘Up and Go’ by the legendary DJ EZ.

‘Disconnected’ is her next collaborative project with the talented artist and producer Saffron, featuring Franky Bones.

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."

Biography
Lisbon Kid is a new London-based alternative acoustic electronica duo formed just over a year ago and now beginning to make waves.
Between them they have had many successes on both sides of the Atlantic as award-winning writers and producers working within a wide range of genres from EDM to techno rock, alternative folk to indie pop. Most recently developing and producing Chloe Howl.

They have just completed their debut album, which is a seemingly effortless and laidback mix of electronica and acoustic instruments, often with ambient landscaping and employing elements of sound design. Added to this is a huge song-based pop sensibility and emotional lyrical content that gives the project the obvious uniqueness that is Lisbon Kid. Influences include Royksopp, Zero 7, Pink Floyd, Cinematic Orchestra, Kinobe , Massive Attack, M83, Nick Drake.

The writing and recording process for the project originally began in Portugal from whence the duo hail, and then eventually moved back to London for completion. They have taken an uncompromising audio approach, allowing them to achieve a real and obvious sonic excellence. Lisbon Kid have employed the best in both vintage valve audio signal paths and acoustic instruments in the analogue world, and also the latest software and techniques in the digital domain.
Their combined experience as cutting-edge producers in their respective fields has also contributed to the vast warmth and beauty of the sound of the project.

Lisbon Kid have recently been described as “Purveyors of laid-back earworm beats and mellow reflective moments through finest sonics and curious ambience… Songs and tunes for after the night before.”

The radio and synch-friendly debut album also contains various contributions from a select handful of well-known luminaries from the alternative music world additionally bringing their unique personalities and feel to the forthcoming long player.
Featured artists and vocalists include Sarah Cracknell (St. Etienne), Lisa Billson (Orbital/Loose Salute) James Craise (featured Professor Green singer), electronic diva Queen Of Hearts and Icelandic songstress Hafdis Huld.
