Lola Colt unveil new single Vacant Hearts
Lola Colt release their third single 'Vacant Hearts' on Black Tigress Records on 2 June 2014. Produced by Jim Sclavunos (member of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds and Grinderman). the band also recently recorded their debut album with him which they plan to be released at end of this year.
Taking their name from a 60’s spaghetti western, Lola Colt are a powerful and imposing six-piece with 3 girls and 3 guys, fronted by captivating Danish vocalist Gun. The band have sent their audiences into a frenzy with their powerful and captivating live performances, including sold out London shows and intoxicating sets at UK and European festivals. Their two singles, 'Jackson' and debut 'I Get High if You Get High' on Too Pure, have won them widespread fans at press and radio.
Lola Colt originated as the song writing partnership of Gun and lead guitarist Matt, who came together through a long-standing love of vintage films and cinematic sound, as well as having freakishly similar record collections. Film scores have featured heavily in both their lives and continue to be a big influence in their music today. When Matt first started writing music, it was in the form of film scores and theatre productions. As the band developed into a six-piece, their earliest ideas were to create a soundtrack to a film that hadn't been written yet.
When writing or performing they let a feeling or mood lead the music whilst still paying particular attention to detail; nothing is superfluous. "We're fellow travellers on the journey, helping to guide the way, but not dictating the path". People talk about their music and live experience in terms of what they felt or where the music took them -a desert highway, an open road or a seedy inner city alleyway. Breaking out from their psychedelic underground beginnings, they are an impressive proposition live and they make certain every show feels like a special event.
Lola Colt launch their single at a special live show at OSLO in London on 4 June 2014.
They will also be playing a string of UK festivals this year. Confirmed so far:
1 May LIVERPOOL SOUND CITY (The Factory)
2 May MANCHESTER GULLIVERS (Headline Show)
3 May LIVE AT LEEDS (Met Uni 2)
8 May THE GREAT ESCAPE, Brighton (Bermuda Triangle)
4 June OSLO, London, Single Launch Event
