Zo Lief

Hypnotic. Heavenly. Heavy. Zo Lief craft a kaleidoscopic sound that alludes a whimsical nostalgia. Collaging velvety, smoky vocals with fuzzy guitars and swirly synths, they bounce around the walls of psychedelia, dream pop, chamber pop and garage rock.

Zo Lief is the unique collaboration of musical and romantic partners Laura Chen (Dutch singer-songwriter, guitarist) and James Attwood (British multi-instrumentalist). Their music is marked by catchy melodic hooks and playful, poetic lyrics that render life and love through an alluring, cinematic lens. Performing live as a three-piece band, they bring their imaginative, retro-futuristic productions to life.

The band have toured extensively in the UK and Europe, supporting the likes of NewDad, Cassia, Temples, Zimmer90, GLU, Iraina Mancini at renowned venues and new music hotspots in Amsterdam, London, Paris, Berlin, Cologne, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Cardiff.

Their debut EP 'Believe What You Believe' - produced and mixed by James Bagshaw (Temples) - was independently released via AWAL in 2023.

'Hypnosis', their self-produced second 6-track EP (co-produced and mixed by James Bagshaw) was released on March 28th 2025 via LAB Music.
