about

Lily and King are celebrating the release of their second album: ‘Bless This Life’, produced by ARIA award winning guitarist Matt Walker.

Lily Baird delivers a luring, sensual haze of smoky-opiate vocals and rapturously disrespectful brass (playing trombone, trumpet and tuba throughout), while Tony J. King slams a rhythmic driving junkyard of guitars and percussion.

The twelve track album, which has a distinctly Australian flavour (“Bondi Junction Baby” and “Brett Whiteley’s Woman”), takes listeners to tangled spaces – from the all-in bluegrass orgy of the title track to mesmerising and delicate seaside waltzes, passionate wailing klezmer (with violinist Alex Burkoy-Tinpan Orange), and crunchy down-home blues.

Walker’s inimitably understated and honest production style underpins ‘Bless This Life’, and captures all the energy and wild romance of the duo’s live performances. It is an absolute must listen.

about

Lily & King Melbourne, Australia

An acoustic junkyard - blissful, beautiful, dirty and wicked.

They play hot Dixieland punk dotted with haunting seaside lullabies and street corner stomp. Their set sits somewhere between a captivating 40's nightclub routine and the raw, reckless spirit of New Orleans street buskers. ... more
