Brighton’s ladylike Debut in Liverpool!! The candlelight kind. Natural, controlled, and brimming with a subtle euphoria. Delicately treading the tightrope between folk and post-rock, their sound rolls and retreats. Like an ocean’s patient yet pervasive flaking of landscapes, ladylike tracks herald in a gentle metamorphosis that speaks to renewal, growth and repair. Formed from friendships that predate the band itself, the quartet — Georgia Butler (vocals, guitar), Spencer Withey (vocals, guitar, synth), James Ely (drums), and Archie Sagers (six-string bass) serve their folk rare: raw and pastoral, but with a side of textural, atmospheric builds directly wired into the tensions of the modern world. It’s a formula that has gained them slots at Green Man; Left Of The Dial; The Great Escape; and Dot To Dot, plus supports with Ugly, Mary in the Junkyard and Lime Garden. Early champions at radio and press include KEXP, BBC 6 Music, Apple 1, Radio X, DIY, So Young, and Rough Trade.

“We’ve now upgraded to a small, warm and sticky shared practice space that has a lingering smell of yeast from the bakery next door.” divulges Georgia. Despite this, their songs still claim room to inhale and exhale, to meander, and shake loose the dammed-up anomie of modern living with a gentle gut-punch of glorious folk-tinged rapture.
