Lovisa

Coming In From The Cold

Lay Low is centred on the talents of Lovisa, an award-winning songwriter from Iceland. Her influences are a turbulent mix of Ray Charles, The Staple Singers, Ella Fitzgerald, Will Oldham, Cat Power, Dolly Parton, Willy Mason and Beth Gibbons, which has lead to her being heralded as a "female Johnny Cash."

For live performances, Lay Low also consists of Magnus Oder, Bassi on drums and Sibbi on banjo which, when mixed together with Lovisa's haunting blues-country vocal, makes for a winning combination.

Already a hit in Iceland, Please Don't Hate Me earned 3 Icelandic Music Awards, the band have made a massive impression on the UK music scene, and they are already invading stateside, as their track "Mojo Love" was used in US hit drama Greys Anatomy.

Lay Low is preparing to embark on a tour of the UK in the fall after previewing their stunning live shows at Popkomm in Germany and Iceland Airwaves Festival.
