Liz Lawrence – “Peanuts” (Released 7th June 2024)

Description

//Chrysalis Records//

£23.99 – 1xLP, Limited Edition Yellow Coloured Vinyl with Signed Print

Described as an “intensely British” record, Peanuts is a wry and observational album, with a newfound sense of compassion and reflection on Liz’s inner feelings and their projection on the outside world. Peanuts is a playground game, also known as Mercy, where two kids twist each other’s fingers until one cries out, ‘Peanuts!’, signalling that they have met their pain threshold. From 2013, Liz was performing as a backing singer for Bombay Bicycle Club up to their hiatus in 2016, and again when they reformed in 2019, touring the world. Liz has been a regular collaborator with the band ever since, “It was a life-raft for me. It was such a natural fit, and they became my friends for life” says Liz. Peanuts is Liz Lawrence’s first album release with Chrysalis Records, spanning 11 tracks full of topics spanning from plant names to the gender wealth gap.
