“They're like hidden gems, a newfound relic of a generation lost" – The Line Of Best Fit
“Lusts take their cues from new wave, with glimmering synth lines piercing through urgent swathes of guitar” – NME RadarLusts are brothers Andy and James Stone from Leicester evoking both the classic woozy chorus’ and reverb laden guitars of Echo and the Bunnymen and the new wave pop sensibilities of Beach Fossils.
Signed to the newly reborn 1965 Records, Lusts released their debut single 'Temptation' in January 2015. DIY dubbed it a “glistening, new wave-nodding exciting debut” and XFM and Radio 1 dutifully delivered support by spinning on several occasions and with 6Music crowning the single the winner of their rebel playlist.
Their latest single ‘Waves’ is available now. Produced by MJ from Hookworms in his Leeds studio, it combines distorted organs and synths with fuzz guitars and a driving chorus of ‘uplifting misery’.
Their debut album "Illuminations" was released on October 23rd through 1965 Records / PIAS.
