23 is the first single of the new Lucky Iris era. The track is about the stress of getting older but somehow feeling younger than ever. A feeling which at times seems silly and all-consuming but it’s there all the same... Written and produced by the pair, mixed by Richard Wilkinson (Adele, Kaiser Chiefs) and mastered by Antony Ryan (Oh Wonder); ‘23’ is the mesh of the duo’s love for hyper-pop hooks and the quintessential age of British indie music. Supported by Help Musicians and released through Launchpad+.

Leeds alt-pop duo Lucky Iris have announced their new single ‘oh no (i guess i did it again)’, a defiant, pop punk open letter exposing the ugly reality of following the beautiful game for women and LGBTQIA+ supporters. 

Following the more downtempo, contemplative feel of previous single ‘23’; ‘oh no (i guess i did it again)’ pairs the pop punk empowerment of Avril Lavigne with snarling synth breakdowns reminiscent of Sleigh Bells in a three minute anthem that lays bare the difficulties that female and queer football fans face every day. Much of the accompanying video was shot at OOF Gallery located in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and with the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup fast approaching, lifelong Spurs fan Maeve needs you to know that whatever the result, ‘this is harder on me than on you.’

Running Back

Composed of songwriting and production duo Maeve and Jasper - Lucky Iris make crunchy electronic pop music which is both catchy and emotional.

The duo released their eagerly anticipated EP “maybe i’m too much” in August 2023 written and produced by the pair, and mixed by Richard Wilkinson (Adele, Kaiser Chiefs) and mastered by Antony Ryan (Oh Wonder).
It was met with a wave of tastemaker hype, as well as a sync on Love Island. Before releasing a remixed version of the EP title track under the new name “maybe you are not enough”  landed a place on Spotify’s ultimate “Hyperpop” playlist. With support from BBC Radio 1, Radio X, BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing. But a true highlight for the spurs fan duo was a feature on the Tottenham Hotspur website. 

Having supported the likes of Real Lies, Stealing Sheep, The Lottery Winners and Future Utopia, the band have graced stages across the country, including performances at The Great Escape 23’  the BBC Introducing Stage for Live at Leeds 23’. Their most recent live performance
saw them support the hyper-pop sensation Hannah Diamond alongside Lucy Tun and Jessica Winter.

After spending the start of the 2024 finishing new music the pair are set to release their upcoming EP “something to believe in” through the new and exciting collaboration label, Launchpad+ and EMI North which is certain to see the band take that next step in their career.
