 The band has also released a hauntingly beautiful video for single "Seven Hours" to celebrate the release. The
video is a hopeful adventure; a paradox; exploring loss, longing and
change all appropriately set in both the center of Sydney and in an
underwater paradise of our imaginations. Director, Gareth Davies, the
visionary behind the clip interprets, "Seven Hours seemed appropriate
for exploring a more surreal narrative - it comes from an idea of a man
moving through and letting go of a past relationship and coming to terms
with this loss. Whales are a totem for me, personally - so it was
serendipitous to see afterwards that they also appear all throughout the
band's album artwork also. There was definitely something significant
and special about working on this video."
Little May have caught the attention of tastemakers far beyond their Sydney home with Mojo declaring "The
Australian intricate, dramatic harmonic pop proves appropriately ornate
on this soaring yet engagingly earthy first album". The LP has been added to Eclectic24 KCRW's new music stream and was spotlighted on Huw Stephens 'It's Album Time' segment on BBC Radio 1 and has just been announced as triple j's feature album.
It's safe to say that the last two years have been a
whirlwind for age-old friends Hannah Field, Liz Drummond and Annie
Hamilton from topping Hype Machine charts to sold-out Australian shows,
support tours with Angus and Julia Stone, Bernard Fanning, Cold War Kids
& Rodriguez, international festival appearances including The Great
Escape, Bonnaroo Festival and CMJ where they were officially selected as one of the "11 Breakout Acts of CMJ". The trio's May/June
European tour saw them selling out their London show two months in
advance and their current 25-date worldwide tour will see them play the
UK, Europe and USA, further solidifying themselves as an 'act to watch'
as touted by the likes of The Huffington Post and The Guardian.
The band's US tour kicks off this fall, Little May will make stops in NYC, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, and more. See below for a full run of dates.
ACCLAIM FOR LITTLE MAY
"Little May have become one of Australia's most buzzed about bands, drawing comparisons to First Aid Kit, Fleetwood Mac and Haim. Now, they're poised for an explosive debut in the States." - Billboard ""Little May's haunting sound walks between the emotion of Daughter and the harmonies of First Aid Kit, creating a beautiful realm of music to get lost in. " WXPN "Aussies just really are the best-we've just gotta say it. Emotional indie-folk trio Little May does nothing to disprove that. The band, comprising Liz Drummond, Annie Hamilton and Hannah Field, makes music you want to weep to because their lyrics are so sweet and (oftentimes) sad." Noisey US TOUR DATES
