About
The product of ex-members of several Nottingham bands possessing a common desire to play the music they want to listen to, O Lovely Lie came together in 2005 when brother and sister Richard and Gemma Upton met bassist Ruth Cottam and drummer Ben Hallam. The band’s raw chemistry was immediately apparent, and keyboardist Anna Robinson was brought in soon after to bring a new dimension to the band’s sound and create a unique musical style. At times brutal and brooding ballads, which build up into an abrasive whirling melodic wall of sound, whilst at other times ragingly manic, their sound always retains a pop element. Drawing on bands such as The Cure, Joy Division, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Sonic Youth, Chameleons, Velvet Underground and the Smashing Pumpkins for inspiration, they fertilised the foundations of the sounds they heard in their heads. Characterised by textured guitars, beautiful harmonies, heavy bass lines and pounding drums, years of experimentation and ideology have led to O’ Lovely Lie’s distinctively powerful sound.Article Comments (0)
