Lois Brea

LOIS is a multi-talented artist; a gifted vocalist and musician who also draws his own artwork, an illustrator who has a flair for writing obscure, haunting indie-pop songs from his bedroom studio in Madrid. His first release was a two-song cassette on US DIY-label Citrus City Records, and it was aptly entitled ‘Bedroom Recordings’. Everything is done by Lois himself in his room, with an old beatbox, a Fender Jaguar and a 4-track tape recorder. Those two songs quickly caught the attention of some influential blogs and put him under the spotlight, surprising everyone with his sultry vocals and catchy guitar lines. Instead of basking in the media attention, he retreated back to his nest to write the two new songs that appear on this 7” vinyl debut, and started scouting for musicians to form his live band. Now, with ‘Dank Jazz’ on shiny vinyl and its two wonderful dark-surf songs under his belt, LOIS is ready to take the next step and travel outside of his boudoir with his excellent live band, crooning his way across the ocean and rightly becoming the latest indie-pop sensation to come from this new hotbed of musical talent that is Madrid.
