The band
We met in a rehearsal room in Lisbon in 2019 and have not stopped since.
Vocals and synths
Writes the songs on a battered keyboard on the last tram home.
Guitar
Builds walls of sound from three pedals and a vintage amp.
Bass
The calm one. Plays the same two-note groove for eight minutes and makes it work.
Drums
Hits harder than anyone in the building and smiles through all of it.
In the press
Reviews of Static Hearts and the live show.
Big drums, shimmering synths and choruses you will be humming all week. Static Hearts is the best dream-pop record of the year.

Lisbon Nights

A band that sounds enormous and intimate at the same time. One to watch.
