About this item

As their previous incarnation (Lulu & The Lampshades) they’re probably best known for the viral cup song ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’ (over 3 million hits and counting on YouTube), but in the ensuing period Landshapes have undergone a considerable musical metamorphosis.

The band have learned and grown together - four distinctive personalities jostling and pulling, each with their own set of influences and sensibilities, an unlikely alchemy which comes together and makes sense.

Broad brushstrokes, big sounds and mournful melodies forged a new soundscape, so when a typo accidentally billed them as Landshapes it seemed an appropriate description for an altogether new sound, and an altogether new band.

Landshapes is the sound of four people in a dingy practice room, building on accidents, listening over and reworking obsessively until every band member is satisfied. An unconventional and serendipitous process it might be, but it’s crucial to Landshapes’ overall sound.
