Info

Allo Darlin’ are many things. They can turn a room in a famous punk venue into a joyous, jumping, sweaty, pop-mosh pit. Or bring a room of 500 to hushed silence with the few strums of a ukulele and a love song about cooking. They’re close friends that found each other and the music they make in London. Elizabeth and Bill are from Australia, Mike and Paul are from Kent.

They’ve played sold-out shows in Germany and Sweden, wowed the crowds at the Indietracks and Swn festivals, toured the UK, received airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6music and XFM, and had glowing reviews in places such as the Metro, The Fly and The Guardian, the latter calling their “Henry Rollins” single “the best indiepop song for years”.

“The 10 songs on Allo Darlin’s self-titled debut album don’t rewrite the formula for wistful bedsit charm as much as show that it can still be carried out masterfully” – 7.9/10 PITCHFORK

“This debut is a joy from beginning to end, a fully-formed talent at the first attempt – as rare as it is welcome” – BBC

“It’s effortlessly cool…this record will have you playing it lots of times” – 8/10 LOUD AND QUIET

“Don’t embark on your summer affair without this under your belt” – 8/10 ARTROCKER
