Brown Horse
+ Lilo
Brown Horse make twangy and thoughtful indie rock, delicately arranged, but unafraid of building a yowling wall of guitars, accordion, banjo and pedal steel. Distorted, teary-eyed and country-tinged, this is music for long lonely drives and late, late nights in strange places.
“an entirely unique yet instantly recognisable sound” – Mojo
After signing with legendary label Loose Music (The Felice Brothers, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Courtney Marie Andrews), their debut album, Reservoir, was released in January 2024 to wide critical acclaim. The band followed the release with a multi-month international tour and a packed festival season. Road-worn and with an open heart, Brown Horse are back playing select venues this Autumn.

Lilo
A friendship that runs over a decade deep, Christie Gardner and Helen Dixon first met at school in Winchester aged 11, forming lilo shortly after. Starting out with homespun recordings and YouTube covers, by the time they moved to London in their late-teens, they had formed an unshakeable creative bond that is proving an incredible bedrock for them to flourish from.
Late-2021 saw them release their exceptional debut EP Sleep Country and they recently released their new EP, I Don’t Like My Chances On The Outside, a truly brilliant follow-up that underscores that we’re no longing talking about promise with this duo. They’re firmly in their stride, deftly counterbalancing delicate moments and harmony-led pop highs across a full-bodied band sound. Their lyrics speak for their generation too, encapsulating the panic, anxiety and love of twenty-somethings at a time of great uncertainty.
