New London five-piece Curse Of Lono who we’ve become big fans of here at UK will release their debut album Severed on Submarine Cat Records on April 7th. Described as a “sumptuously cinematic record that combines harmony-laden Americana with driving, gothic alt-rock”, the album was produced at Gun Factory studio by Oli Bayston. Curse Of Lono’s debut EP, released last October, forms the soundtrack to ‘Saturday Night’, a short film of inter-connected music videos directed by Alex Walker which we recently highlighted.
The film recently won Best Music Video at the LA Independent Film Festival and the same category at the London Independent Film Awards, and has made the official selection at the International Music Video Underground in LA and at Feel The Reel International Film Festival in Glasgow. They’ve also announced a headline show at Water Rats on Thursday April 20th. Here’s the video to their new single out next week, “Pick Up the Pieces”
