Scottish trio LYLO emerge from a six year hiatus today with news of a new album, Thoughts of Never, a pristine body of work built on foundations of vulnerability and cinematic pop sensibilities, set for release May 10th, 2024 via El Rancho Records.

Smooth and soulful ‘Hush’ marks a new direction for LYLO. It depicts the desperate desire to connect with others, whilst wrestling with anxiety and a play-hard-to-get inner voice - portrayed by Esmé’s vocal additions - through pensive-cum-bitter lyricisms. “It’s melancholic but carries a playfulness to it,” says the band. “If anyone ever fancies a reflective dance, we hope this is the song.”
The video was made in collaboration with BAFTA nominees, director Daniel Cook and producer Marcy Paterson, and further enhances the narrative of the anxious voice, and what one does in an attempt to escape it. Stylistic references to the 1979 movie, The Warriors, are seen in the radio live room scenes, which is starkly contrasted with the mundane routine inspired by the style and aesthetic of Takeshi Kitano’s films.

Thoughts of Never, engineered and co-produced with friend Joel Patchett (Billy Ocean, King Krule), was written with the members residing in both Berlin and Glasgow, directly affecting the album's motifs.
