Lyon’s songwriting gives as much weight to silence as to sound, with poetic nuance and muscular understatement. Her voice floats between the abstract, the archetypal, and raw vulnerability, inviting the listener to both reach out and dig deep.
Fresh from an extensive European touring run with Zaho de Sagazan, along with a triumphant headline tour of her own in March, Lyon’s recent accolades also include performances at SXSW, The Great Escape, Glastonbury, and New York City Hall, where she received the prestigious Danny Award. She was recently named one of the UK’s 100 most influential disabled people on the Power 100 list and awarded the flagship PPL Momentum Grant.
With her new album, ‘Poems & Non-Fiction’, she cements her place as one of the most distinct and fearless voices in contemporary music.
John Bramwell [I Am Kloot]
John Bramwell has been on a never-ending rolling adventure since his workings away from the cherished, Mercury Prize nominated Mancunian band, I Am Kloot. February 23rd 2024 marked the release of the acclaimed, sophomore album ‘The Light Fantastic‘.
