NEHH Presents… Poster Paints & Jill Lorean

Jill Lorean is Jill O’Sullivan (Sparrow and the Workshop) in collaboration with Andy Monaghan (Frightened Rabbit) and drummer Peter Kelly. Jill muses on nature, relationships, love, sorrow, motherhood and memory over frenetic, hypnotic drum beats and playful, subversive bass and guitar lines.

Poster Paints are Carla J. Easton and Simon Liddell. Two beloved Scottish musicians who orbited through the same thriving music scene, Carla as an award-winning solo artist and member of TeenCanteen, and Simon as part of Frightened Rabbit and Olympic Swimmers, who were introduced by Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee of The Vaselines. The pair seemed destined to collaborate, yet the musical outfit they created happened purely by chance. The band released their debut single Number 1 last year; the track was described as ‘reverb-splattered, riotous guitar melodies and supercharged vocals with jangle-pop primacy’ (The Line of Best Fit) and received extensive play from Marc Riley via BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing and BBC Radio Scotland. They followed with a surprise release EP Blood Orange, a brace of headline shows and support slots with Belle & Sebastian, Admiral Fallow and Teenage Fanclub.
