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.

Support comes from Luce Rushton and Lily Montague.
