With a reputation for crafting intelligent, infectious indie pop and energetic, dance-inducing live show, Lions At Your Door (LAYD) is hitting the road this August/September, celebrating the release of new single ‘In a Sea’.

It’s been a while between drinks with the band’s interstate friends, so expect LAYD to hit the stage with all the ferocity of its large cat namesake.

For anyone familiar with LAYD, the band’s first official single for 2010 ‘In a Sea’ may be quite different to what you’d expect from the Sydney indie sextet.

Since taking time out at the start of 2010 to focus on writing and recording, LAYD has grown into a new, more grounded, melodic style of playing, without compromising the frenetic energy they’ve become renowned for.

‘In a Sea’ manages to channel the band’s energy into a tumbling, epic, indie pop tune that stays with you. With each listen the song builds and grows on you, the catchy chorus belying a new found sophistication and clarity of ideas in LAYD’s writing.

Lead singer Marihuzka finds a new dimension to her vocals, performing with delicate restraint over the sparse driving rhythm at the beginning of the song, building until the chorus explodes with the powerful, arresting six piece sound that marked LAYD out from the crowd when they first crashed onto the scene three years ago.

‘In a Sea’ is available August 20 from all good digital providers.
