Say Lou Lou release new single Everything We Touch

Say Lou Lou release new single Everything We Touch


Taken from their debut album due for release later this year, ‘Everything We Touch’ is a huge hook laden tune delivered with the powerful vocal panache of 22 year old twin sister band-members Miranda and Elektra Kilbey. With its killer chorus chant of ‘everything we touch turns to gold at night’ the single is a step on from the quietly devastating tracks "Maybe You", “Julian” and ‘Better in the Dark’, that the band have put out over the last 18 months garnering critical acclaim and a growing worldwide fanbase in the process. 

Self-created and self-imagined, Say Lou Lou have come to worldwide attention since their formation less than two years ago with the three fantastic songs and their attendant B-sides. The Guardian have called their unique sound ‘seductive’, Esquire call them ‘electro noir pop’ whilst Elle describe them as ‘melancholy you can dance to’. The Sunday Times have praised the girls brilliant vocals saying their ‘songs are dominated by the Kilbey’s extraordinary voices’. Meanwhile in the US they have been shot by Interview Magazine and for the cover of V Magazine so far as their career moves in the ascendant across the world.

Say Lou Lou are currently finishing off their self-written debut album which has been recorded in London, Sweden and Los Angeles.

The band have also been busy playing live around Europe and, coming off a recent tour in support of London Grammar, will be returning to the UK in support of Foster the People at The Troxy in London on 24th March before performing a series of festival shows around the world through the summer. UK festivals announced so far include Live at Leeds and The Great Escape with further tba shortly. The shows follow up the critically acclaimed headline show at Concrete at the end of 2013 which led Gigwise to proclaim ‘on top of their incredible collection of songs - these girls can seriously sing.’

Say Lou Lou release their debut single, Better In The Dark


After releasing the quietly devastating tracks "Maybe You" and “Julian” the deliciously melancholic Say Lou Lou release their debut single on Columbia Records, ‘Better In The Dark’, on 16th December. ‘Better in the Dark’ comes as a double A-side accompanied with a stunning b-side ‘Beloved’.

Say Lou Lou are 21 year old Swedish/Australian twin sisters Miranda and Elektra Kilbey and they are currently finishing off their self-written debut album which has been recorded in London, Sweden and Los Angeles. The album will be released early in 2014.

Self created and self imagined, Say Lou Lou have come to worldwide attention since their formation just eighteen months ago with the two fantastic songs and their attendant B-sides. NME said of “Maybe You, ‘On their haunting first single Miranda and Elektra cut deep with a wounded despondent ballad that takes pop’s penchant for the superficial and drowns it in a sea of sorrows’ whilst The Sunday Times called them ‘a red hot tip’. Meanwhile in the US they have been shot by  Interview Magazine and V Magazine so far’. Released earlier this year as a b-side on the vinyl release to "Julian," another stunning track "Fool of Me" (recorded with Chet Faker) has been highlighted on Pitchfork, Idolator and MTV Buzzworthy as a potential breakout song for the duo.

In addition to the singles the band have created incredible imagery for each track with two videos by  director Philippe Tempelman which have already chalked up nearly one million views in the past few months. As well as their own headline dates in the UK, Say Lou Lou have toured Europe and shared stages with the likes of Twin Shadow, Kindness, Ariel Pink and HURTS.

Say Lou Lou embarked on their most recent European tour this month, in support of Foals, and return with their own headline show in London at Concrete on 13th November 2013.
