about

Lilac Undertow are four friends who play quietly and loudly at the same time: hushed, half-heard vocals floating on a tide of reverb, tremolo and guitars tuned to whatever the weather is doing.

They recorded their debut album, Everything Is Weather, over two winters in an empty seaside dance hall, with the doors open so the wind could play too. Live, they turn the lights down and the amps up, and nobody minds.
