lilo detail their forthcoming debut album, Blood Ties
lilo – the duo made up of Christie Gardner and Helen Dixon – have announced their debut album, Blood Ties, alongside the release of new single, "It’s Not The Same In Winter".
“It’s Not The Same In Winter comes from being in the full throes of a breakup. I’d gone away to do some writing, hoping to channel my woes into something brilliant. The trip was terrible, I didn’t write a thing and actually started to feel like whole sections of my brain had gone missing," explains Dixon of the new single.
"I phoned Christie. I said: it’s so weird, I can’t remember a single thing about my ex. I can’t picture what he looked like, and all the memories I have feel like they belong to someone else. I tried looking at photos to trigger something and nothing happened, I felt like I was looking at a stranger.”
Following on from With two EPs (2022’s Sleep Country and 2023’s I Don’t Like My Chances On The Outside), lilo's debut album "encompasses some big feelings; it ricochets between anger and joy and sadness and everything in between," the duo explains.
lilo will follow up the album's release with a UK headline tour that takes in record stores and concert halls in Brighton, Manchester, Bristol, Glasgow, and more, before culminating in a headline show at The George Tavern in London on 10 April.
