We tip Swiss quartet Lone Assembly as ‘ones to watch’ – who kick off half a dozen UK dates in a week’s time in Bristol, in support of their debut album, “Knots & Chains”.
Follow-up to their debut EP “That Never Happened” released in early 2024 – a set of songs paying tribute to a lost loved one by a group of friends making music.
Their music-making back then became a space for healing, a place of closeness, a necessity and this urgency was evident in the band’s first songs, and even more apparent on their debut album.
Cloaked in a gothic aesthetic, the record is a new wave/synth-pop exploration of control in all its forms, characterized by an eighties coldness polished with modern production; with nods to their admiration for the golden years of Factory Records and the pop straight forwardness of bands like Editors.
Raphaël Bressler (vocals), Glenn Le Meur (guitar), Jim Bodeman (bass), and Romain Segu (drums).
Catch them on the following dates:
May 19th- Bristol, The Jam Jar
May 20th- Manchester, FAC251
May 21st- Leeds, Belgrave Music Hall
May 22nd- Brighton, Patterns
May 23- Glasgow, Oran Mor
May 24th- The Moth Club, London
