She's crazy and she's kooky and judging by 'Rabbit Hole', one side of the Lois & The Love forthcoming single release, absolutely loopy. Lois Winstone - "a cockney sparrow with the heart of an eagle" - drops vocal howls that sound like a pack of dogs have been let loose - yet it has a raw power that is set in an astonishing soundscape that reflects the depth and variety of Lois & The Love's influences. The new tracks are entirely produced and mixed by the band, meaning they are a true expression of what the band are about.
Offspring of famous parentage often face a difficult time to establish themselves in their own right, but Ms Winstone, the daughter of hard man actor Ray, seems to be bucking the trend. Actress, model and formerly of hip hop vibers Crack Village, she is part siren, part rock babe; her smoky blues delivery on 'Dark Serenade' bringing Janis Joplin immediately to mind.
Lois & The Love are:
Lois Winstone, vocals; Dean Sharpe,guitar, keys; Oli Longmore, bass; Ed Banda, drums.
'Rabbit Hole' / 'Dark Serenade' is released on November 19 on Normal Recordings.
