After a run of dreamy singles, London’s Lazy Day have graced us with their first proper collection of tunes.  Four songs, interlaced with three ‘Ribbons’, tying together their debut EP.   Features the singles ‘With My Mind’ and ‘Hiccup’.  Lost Map Records are delighted to welcome London lo-fi dreamy-grunge quartet Lazy Day. Ribbons was released on 10” vinyl . 

The EP follows Lazy Day’s now long-since sold-out Record Store Day 2015 split 7” single with Tuff Love, ‘Portait’ / ‘Groucho’, and 2016’s ‘Disappear’7” single, as well as the PostMap postcard single With My Mind, released earlier this year, which also features on the  Ribbons EP.

Lazy Day began life in 2014 as the bedroom solo project of Tilly Scantlebury. Self-recording her tracks on Garageband and making them available to hear via SoundCloud, she quickly gained extensive attention and praise from many respected music websites and blogs. Since expanding to a four-piece band currently featuring drummer Beni Evans, guitarist Liam Hoflay and newest member bassist Jake Head, they’ve gone on to twice be longlisted for Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Competition.

Huge, crashing and anthemic yet always deeply personal and intimate and with a delicate eye for detail, Ribbons captures Lazy Day in a key stage of their development. From anguished “breakup anthem” ‘With My Mind’, through the hazy hooks of ‘What’s Up’, ‘Hiccup’and ‘TV’, as interspersed throughout with the variously strange, playful and pretty incidental tracks ‘Ribbon’ #1, #2 and #3, it’s an EP that exemplifies the impressively broad range and reach of Tilly’s songwriting, and does so much more than the average EP does.

Ribbons was recorded by Bottle Rocket Recording at The Crows’ Nest Studios, mixed by Adrian Hall (Anna Calvi/Goldfrapp) at Clever Pup Studios and mastered by Andy ‘Hippy’ Baldwin at Metropolis. Artwork and press shot by Eleanor Crewes.

LAZY DAY – ” Oldiest Friend / Hiccup “

Earlier in the year, London-based Lazy Day unveiled their track ‘With My Mind’, and now they’re gearing up to release their debut EP ‘Ribbons’ on 15th September!

Before the EP gets fully unveiled next week though, Tilly Scantlebury and co have unveiled a green screen-tastic video for their latest single ‘Hiccup’. In it, Tilly lets her imagination roam free via the power of green screen, transporting herself from being an explorer in Africa to a top chef, a superstar footballer to being pampered on the beach. She also becomes a rock star, but to be honest we thought that one was already a reality…

Speaking of the track and video, she said: “‘Hiccup’ is a lot about guessing what someone else is thinking and doing. When you don’t know someone very well it makes figuring out what’s going on in their mind pretty hard. That constant guessing can mess with your own head too, and I wanted ‘Hiccup’ to have a video that visualised that kind of on-going confusion, how your thoughts can end up all crashing together. I suppose the video is a weird window into my mind – and what it feels like when you’re trying to see into someone else’s”.

She continued: “I met the director, Eliza, when we were both working in a gallery, effectively being bodyguards for really expensive art. We were meant to guard silently, but we couldn’t stop talking. We walked around in our uniforms and concocted ideas and plans, and the days would speed by. I felt so lucky to have an amazing all female crew working on this. We had so much fun, and I think that joy and camaraderie really comes through in the final video”.
