Lambrini Girls reveal two sharply contrasting sides on new singles
Brighton duo Lambrini Girls share «The Basement» and «Spilt», two contrasting previews of second album «No Refunds», due in January 2027.
Brighton duo Lambrini Girls share «The Basement» and «Spilt», two contrasting previews of second album «No Refunds», due in January 2027.
Two singles that pull in opposite directions
The first song pushes further into the confrontational sound associated with Phoebe Lunny and Selin Macieira. The second removes the distortion entirely for an acoustic arrangement. Releasing them together makes a case for a band that refuses to be defined by loudness alone.
What the acoustic shift reveals
«Spilt» addresses alcohol dependence with an unusually exposed arrangement. The band have described the acoustic approach as a challenge: could a song carry the same emotional force without relying on their customary sonic impact? That question gives the release a revealing artistic dimension.
No Refunds follows the breakthrough debut
«No Refunds» arrives through City Slang on 15 January 2027, following «Who Let The Dogs Out» (2025). Claims about the whole album will have to wait until it is available; the two previews already suggest a wider musical vocabulary.
Album release and touring plans
North American dates and further UK and European touring are planned for 2027; the supplied release does not confirm Spanish shows. For now, the strongest statement is the music itself: evolution need not mean abandoning an identity, only discovering how many shapes it can take.
Acoustic restraint can be just as confrontational
«Spilt» addresses alcohol dependence through an exposed arrangement that contrasts with the duo’s familiar distortion. Its force depends on having fewer sonic defences, not on becoming sentimental. «The Basement» moves in the opposite direction, using their aggressive style to examine online environments in which frustrated men encounter radicalising narratives.
These two songs offer a more useful introduction to «No Refunds» than a claim that the band have simply become louder or more extreme. Phoebe Lunny and Selin Macieira are exploring different ways of expressing vulnerability and anger, though a complete assessment will have to wait for the full album.
City Slang plans to release the record on 15 January 2027. British, European and North American concerts are part of the band’s touring plans, but the press material does not confirm any Spanish dates. Further information: Fever! Productions.
