Lover Lover
Freebirds

Cross Keys

WE SAY

Lover Lover features the vocal talents of Eleanor Bodenham and the superb songwriting of Martin Craft (M.Craft, Jarvis Cocker). The timeless and elegant-sounding Freebirds comes out next month on limited 7″ vinyl and download as the debut release for Cross Keys Records. Set up by Parlophone's Alex Eden-Smith, it describes itself as 'a homespun label founded by a cohort of vinyl addicts'. Backed with The Fire, both songs are produced by Nick Littlemore (Empire of the Sun, Pnau) - they certainly come with his signature dreamy pop stamp, ensuring that the label, and Lover Lover, is off to a captivating start.

London gig: May 1, Hawley Arms NW1/ May 4, The Lexington N1 (Cross Keys Records' showcase launch)

CONTACTS

Label: Cross Keys Records
