Little Lion album cover - final.jpeg

Enter Llennett's world, where atmospheric keyboards and soaring vocals collide, creating an eclectic and immersive experience. A gothic songstress at heart, she masterfully blends grunge's grit with trip-hop's ethereal haze, navigating the spectrum of dark and light with undeniable power. Andy's incredible basslines weave through this sonic tapestry, adding depth and emotional intensity.

​

About the album:
"Little Lion" is the highly anticipated 2nd album from Llennett, marking a return to the shelves after 12 years. This genre-bending collection of songs is a testament to resilience and inner strength, exploring themes of overcoming trauma and adversity. The album's title, "Little Lion," is a direct translation of Lynnette's name, symbolising the powerful core that emerges when facing life's challenges.

​

Musically, "Little Lion" is a diverse and dynamic experience, weaving together grungy textures, ethereal instrumentals, an atmospheric trip-hop-esque feel with both dark, broody moods and moments of uplifting energy. Lynnette's vocals have reached new heights, showcasing a powerful and experimental range, complemented by crunchy keyboard chords, soaring flutes, roaring guitars, and the incredible basslines of Andy Durham.

Standout tracks like "Stranded" and "Little Lion" offer a glimpse into the album's emotional depth and musical innovation, making "Little Lion" a compelling and deeply personal journey for listeners seeking strength and inspiration.

​

So, what’s your animal?

​

I am Little Lion. Hear me ROAR!

​

​

The album, "Little Lion" will be available in CD, digital download format, and on streaming platforms. Other merch will be available on the night.

Fuzz Pat gig with Dragged Up, PAL & Llennett

Saturday - 15th June 2024

Leith Depot - Leith Walk, Edinburgh

This was a particularly special affair as the gig Fuzz Bat was doubled up as a party for Pat John's (of PAL and Riarki + Hersel) 50th and thus they decided to name the show "Fuzz Pat."


Pat and Stu (of Fuzz Bat) picked a fantastic triple threat of acts. Said acts are Fuzzy psychedelic garage rock quintet Dragged Up from Glasgow, the energetic and reverb-loving trio PAL and epic atmospheric gothstress Llennett

Dragged Up: Fuzzy and scuzzy psychedelic garage rock quintet with a triple harmonious hydra vocal threat weaving and cutting through the grit.

Listen here & watch here

 


PAL: Energetic Fun Delightful Trio formed by a lobster-clawed pop Svengali. PAL’s live shows have been described as "riot girl stand-up" and "speed dating for losers."

Legends - Edinburgh

It’s been 10 years since Llennett’s debut album, “Battery Powered” hit the shelves, so we put on a party to celebrate it, and boy, you came out and partied hard!

Their DIY electronic drum beats are carefully crafted into the wee hours, with retro Korg arpeggiator riffs with punchy lyrics and amazing 3-part harmonies, with the help of many cats. Songs to drown out capitalism and dance in the forest with your pals to.

Back in Spring 2020, Puppet Midnight started writing material for his 2nd album, a Greek Mythology concept album following the journey of a human to the realm of Hades (The Underworld). It is set to feature collaborations from a bunch of lovely, talented folks. For this gig, he played it all the way through in its current shape.

The delightful pair of Zed Paysanne and Llennett will play beforehand as support to help enhance the magicalness of the evening.

So in reverse order of appearance...
