Lusts

Lusts are brothers Andrew and James Stone. They released their debut album Illuminations in 2015. Lead single "Temptation" evokes both the classic woozy chorus and reverb-laden guitars of Echo & the Bunnymen, as well as the new wave pop sensibilities of Beach Fossils.

In 2018, Lusts released new singles 'heavy thoughts' and 'lost highway' - which premiered on Radio 1 and were featured on Clash Magazine and The Line of Best Fit. They released their second album ‘call of the void’ on November 16th.

‘call of the void’ (or ‘l’appel du vide’ as it was initially inspired) covers concepts of artificial intelligence, the fragility of mental health, gothic futurism, nostalgia, and the void itself. It has also evolved from the bands travels across the UK, Europe, and the US, as well as their experiences living in London. The tracks have taken inspiration from a range of new sounds, visuals, and encounters such as Andrei Tarkovsky films Stalker and Solaris, Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita, Francis Bacon paintings, as well as Grimes, Tame Impala and William Basinski. Utilising the haunting, reverb-drenched production of classic 80s post-punk as well as the glistening sheen of the iconic synth-pop the decade is so famous for, Lusts explore a rich soundscape of Lynchian ambience amongst their poppier hooks.
