LILO + Kitty Perrin & Kathrine Gomes

lilo are kicking off 2025 in style with the exciting news of their debut album, ‘Blood Ties’, which they have announced is being released by Dalliance Recordings on 28 March. Alongside this, the duo made up of Christie Gardner and Helen Dixon are sharing a new song from the albumcalled ‘It’s Not The Same In Winter’. The track begins with a gently plucked guitar part that ushers in the duo’s signature vocal harmonies as they breathe a cool sophistication over a song that explores dissociation in the midst of a crisis, artfully comparing it to the depths of winter.

The band say: “We can’t believe we get to put out a debut album this year. It’s been such a long time coming and we feel incredibly lucky to have got to make this record together. The album encompasses some big feelings; it ricochets between anger and joy and sadness and everything in between.”
