Johnny Lloyd has come a long way since 2014 when, after two top 40 albums, world tours and support slots with Pixies and The Rolling Stones, Johnny disbanded the critically and commercially beloved Tribes and struck out on his own. Taking the hazy pop sound he’d spearheaded with is bandmates, Johnny spent little time taking it into darker, rougher territory. He founded a new musical home and friendships with Jamie T, Mike Crossey (Producer of The 1975, Hozier) and Hugo White (The Maccabees), who helped guide the recording of his first two solo EPs - 'Dreamland' and 'Eden'.
‘Dreamland’ also features the tracks ‘Happy Humans’ and ‘Pilgrims’ which were produced by The Maccabees guitarist Huge White at his band’s studio in Elephant & Castle.
Work on the EP started all the way back in March of 2015 and it was clear it was the start of something special after Lloyd’s 8-track demos were streamed over 200,000 times after he uploaded them for fans to check out. Released through Xtra Mile Recordings, Lloyd states that Dreamland is about “new beginnings, realisations and trying to find a place in life”
The indie icon teamed up with Jamie T to record and produce the new work at his Hoxton studio for the track Hello Death.
“Hello Death' is about saying goodbye. I wrote it during a transition in my life. Saying goodbye to old faces and ways. It was the end of one time and the start of another. " - Johnny Lloyd
The past year or so has seen Johnny extend his songwriting abilities from his own songs to producing music for television and film with over 1,000 uses of Johnny’s music on TV in 2017 alone as well as writing the score for his first full-length feature film, Rare Beasts, in 2018.
“Woozy, washed-out guitar work with a metronomic beat and languid vocals to create a warm psychedelic outing" - The Line Of Best Fit
“Lo-fi melancholy is decidedly unpolished, and it’s all the better for its roughness" - Pigeons & Planes
