The album release has been preluded by a run of teaser tracks and videos; The latest being Lay Down, which sees Lail take a late night stroll through London, shot by photographer Flo Kohl. Others being the rock‘n’roll candour of recent single When We Grow Up, the endearingly witty Milo and a dashing ode to songwriting hero Leonard Cohen 1934 (A Song For Leonard Cohen) – which together gained radio support from the likes of Jarvis Cocker (6 Music), John Kennedy (Radio X) and Mark Radcliffe (Radio 2).

After sell out London shows and also opening for the likes of Herman Dune, Jeffery Lewis and Stornaway, Lail now announces her 2016 tour:

June 12th – Brixton Electric – opening for Television

“A cool-as-hell depiction of youthful insecurity matched to infinite possibility”
Clash

“With hints of Courtney Barnett, Jonathan Richman and even Lou Reed’s solo work, Lail is one to keep an eye on.”
The 405

“Sparky melodies and lyrics full of warm wit and wry domesticity”
Time Out
