Lambrini Girls share new single ‘Love’ from their debut album Who Let The Dogs Out released 10th January 2025 via City Slang.
Lambrini Girls (Phoebe Lunny and Lilly Macieira) today share new single ‘Love’ from their much anticipated debut album Who Let The Dogs Out released 10th January 2025 via City Slang. With their headline tour next year moving quickly, they also announce a string of intimate record in-store performance to join the records release.
Who Let The Dogs Out is a take-no-prisoners debut from one of the UK’s most fun and fearless bands, ripping through a laundry list of social ills, and is a raw distillation of Lambrini Girls’ anger, energy, and charisma. The album bottles everything wrong with the modern world and shakes it up. If peppering political songs with humour is like sticking a sparkler in some bread, then this record is like a fireworks display in the factory itself: strange, dangerous, exciting.
The band say of the single,
“Love” isn’t a critique on real affection—it’s about mistaking toxicity for love. Like a moth drawn to a flame, unable to discern between warmth that soothes and a fire that burns you, and getting pissed off about it.It’s an embrace full of sharp edges, a kiss that stings. Poison pretending to be sweet, venom dressed up as nectar. When love is learned through chaos, pain feels like connection. It’s the cycle of chasing affection through suffering and holding on because you’ve never known anything else.It’s about the bitterness and resentment from trying to find something, only to realise it remains elusive. What this song conveys isn’t love at all; in fact, it’s very opposite.”
Meeting in Brighton, Phoebe and Lilly have spent the last few years on a tear in more ways than one. Making a reputation for themselves as one of the best live bands to come out of the UK this side of IDLES. Their combination of blunt-force punk, scathing social commentary and barbed humour has garnered comparisons to Bikini Kill and Huggy Bear, and seen them share bills with Gilla Band, Shame, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Iggy Pop, and more. Released in 2023, their critically acclaimed EP You’re Welcome harnesses that live energy into six flamethrower tracks that tackle everything from lad culture to transphobia. Encapsulating their approach in a single image, the cover art features a cartoon pile of shit on fire.
There’s also been a slew of accolades along the way, including a nomination for the Rising Star at the Rolling Stone UK Awards 2024, a Kerrang! cover feature with Sleater-Kinney, and a score of international festival appearances from Glastonbury to Iceland Airwaves.
Recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox with mixing by Seth Manchester (Mdou Moctar / Battles / Model/Actriz), it was written in two short bursts in rural Oxford against the clock. They got the bones of it down in the first session, which saw them lock into a routine of waking up, going for a run, writing until 7PM, then cooking and eating dinner together before going to bed and doing it all over again. The second was arguably more chaotic with 48 beers, a bottle of vodka, six bottles of wine, two bottles of Lambrini, rum and tequila.
“You know how Fleetwood Mac almost dedicated Rumours to their cocaine dealer? I think we should dedicate this album to all the booze we bought at Tesco.”
