Brighton quartet ladylike announce their debut EP It’s A Pleasure Of Mine, to Know You’re Fine out 13 March via their new label Heist or Hit. Alongside the announcement, the band share lead single ‘Rome (in progress)’.
ladylike is composed of Georgia Butler (vocals, guitar), Spencer Withey (vocals, guitar, synth), James Ely (drums), and Archie Sagers (six-string bass). The quartet weave folk influences with raw, unfiltered textures. Their latest single, ‘Rome (in progress)’, blends a subtle post-rock edge with intimate folk, creating a sound that is both complex and delicate.
“‘Rome (in progress)’ is about building a livelihood or community and how that isn’t as smooth sailing as you may think, but it’s still the ideal place for you. It’s introspective but existentially reflects the present time. Whilst lyrically minimal, the song focuses on reimagining two of those strange but common English idioms, which tends to be a theme across our songwriting; ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ & ‘many hands make for light work’.”
