Glasgow based lo-fi pop aficionado Lloyd's House has revealed his new single single "Heather".
'Heather ‘finds Lloyd's House embracing his best flamboyant pop self with a breathy, hooky track that builds to a crescendo through dreamy harmonies and poignant "oh's" as the singer pines over a lost love.
Recorded by Chris McCrory (Catholic Action) and mastered by Sam Smith (Green Door), ‘Heather’ hits a transition point for Lloyd's House, as he maintains those lo-fi aspects of his shimmering self-titled debut, while introducing more polished pop methods to his process, executing an exuberant track that has the power to entrance as it does have you bopping along.
Lloyd's House is the eccentric pop brainchild of Lloyd Ledingham. After releasing his debut EP We Could Be Friends and self-titled album on Corkscrew Records to critical acclaim, Lloyd’s House continues to develop their sound demonstrating an experimental pop prowess built on melodic bass guitar, soulful drums, heart wrenching synth and lilted yet bittersweet vocals.
Taking influence from artists like Perfume Genius, Alex G and Porches, Lloyd's House has found their niche in Scotland's alt-pop scene, and 'Heather' sees the him pushing further afield with a fully formed live band set to tour the UK in September 2022.
"I've always been into catchy melodies and hooks, but sonically ‘Heather’’s a bit more weird, a bit more crunchy. a lot more impactful. A big part of that is having recorded it with a live band.
"It's probably the most cliche emo thing to write about, but a lot of the themes in the song are wanting someone but knowing that you can't have them. But trying anyway, because it's the only option you have. It's a lot of self pity, trying to find comfort in discomfort. Feeling like it's easier to want someone that you can't have than move on, process it and deal with it.”
