Following their acclaimed 2022 single “Applause”, LA rock outfit, Lilly, is sharing their first new music of 2024. Single “More” is the first taste of their upcoming self titled EP, Liily.
“‘More’ is a pretty loud track and when the boys made the instrumental, I felt as though I needed to be intentional with the lyrics,” says singer Dylan Nash. “I wanted it to represent the struggle we’ve had seeing all of our peers consistently put out music while we sit back lifeless sinking further into obscurity.”
It’s been two and a half years since the release of Liily’s debut LP TV or Not TV, and the band has spent the time making music with their friends. “We started the process with Ryan Potesta and then Carlos De La Garza on the song “Swallow,” going through a few iterations of that track. A month or two later we got into a session with our buddies Austin Corona and Wyatt Bernard for the song “Imitate” and it felt like we struck gold.”
The EP subsequently took shape into the group’s most inspired work to date. It is Liily’s first release without a label or management, and was almost entirely born out of drummer Maxx Morando’s Airstream trailer in the San Fernando valley, where they made music with their friends. “We have to give a lot of the credit to our Tour Manager and our Agent for really encouraging us to release it, in general we’re just grateful to have a lot of people working on/for the project who truly believe in it. We’re doing things on our own and for ourselves now, receiving no more help from people that are not a part of our community.”
