Listening to Lois & the Love is like a friend giving you just one bite of their delicious breakfast taco before devouring the entire thing right in front of you. It was perfect while it lasted, but it just wasn’t enough. After dropping a few singles here and there, mesmerizing us with their powerhouse performances and making us crave more, Lois & the Love will be releasing a full-length album called Love Is Louder soon. Read our interview with Lois below for more info on the album!
Vinyl Mag: What can you tell us about your upcoming LP Love Is Louder, and when will it be released?
Lois Winstone: It is a collective feast for the ears! Love Is Louder will be released this summer in June. We are so excited!
VM: You released a teaser trailer for your new single “Pinocchio” back in February. Is there a video in the works for us?
LW: Yes, the “Pinocchio” video will be released soon.
VM: What is the songwriting process like for you guys?
LW: Eddie’s beats, Oli’s bass, Dean’s guitar, my guitar, poems, jam time. Record!
VM: You’ve been praised for having incredible live sets and stage presence. What’s your favorite part of performing?
LW: Thanks! The best and most rewarding part of performing is connecting with the audience—feeling their energy and giving them mine. I’m always buzzing with adrenaline before I go onstage until the end of the show.
VM: How has growing up with such a theatrical background had an influence on the way you perform?
LW: Being a gymnast had more influence on the way I move and focus. I used to practice my floor routines to The Sex Pistols, and all the other girls in the club thought I was mental. Theatre school helped me to be confident in front of large crowds.
VM: Who do you love/hate being compared to?
LW: I’m not compared to anyone really. I’m just little ol’ me!
VM: Can we expect to hear any new songs from Love Is Louder in your upcoming shows?
LW: We’ve thrown in “Child of God” at the end of the set, which went down a storm at the last show.
VM: What’s next for Lois & the Love?
LW: World domination.
