Biography
Johnny Lloyd has come a long way before arriving here. From Operahouse to highly-acclaimed indie band Tribes, who split up late 2013, he’s had time for new music to gestate. Working with Jamie T and Hugo White (from The Maccabees), his cheerily-titled debut EP Hello Death is a rousing but melancholic attempt to “find a new place in life”, full of “new beginnings, realisations…”. When we rebuild, our foundations tend to be stronger than ever, and Johnny Lloyd’s groundwork means the sky could be the limit as time goes on.
Praise for ‘Dreamland EP’
“the songwriter’s finest solo moment to date” CLASH
“woozy, washed-out guitar work with a metronomic beat and languid vocals to create a warm psychedelic outing” The Line Of Best Fit
“…his lo-fi melancholy is decidedly unpolished, and it’s all the better for its roughness” Pigeons & Planes
