Love Hates What You Become Standard edition

Lost Under Heaven wrote this album in Ellery's native Manchester before travelling to Los Angeles to record with producer John Congleton, known for his Grammy-winning work with St. Vincent, Swans, Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Ros.

Congleton introduced the band to Swans drummer Thor Harris, who plays on the record. "We were without a drummer or a real band," explains Ellery. "I just concentrated on writing the songs rather than making a sound. We turned up in LA with that as our starting point, this collection of Guitar & Piano demos that I'd sent through. " A striking difference from their debut record is the prominence of Ebony's vocals, notable on the album's formidable 'Bunny's Blues'.

"Creating this character of Bunny began with a performance piece I did back in Amsterdam," Ebony explains. "She became a playful tool to confront how male-dominated society attempts to control both women and nature without having any real understanding or respect for their being and innate power."

With Love Hates What You Become, Lost Under Heaven continue to establish themselves as a courageous and innovative young band, hungry to create and perform their art.
