Clips that will have an impact on your eyes and your ears…
5 December 2019
A couple of weeks ago fast-rising indie rockers THYLA,
out of Brighton, released euphoric single ‘LENOX HILL‘.
Turn Up The Volume wrote: “After a reflective first half ‘LENOX HILL‘ is catapulted in the air like a sizzling firecracker and explodes like a colorful flowers bouquet as if singer Millie Duthie has been freed from her demons, found her real self again and wants the whole world to know it. The joy of life triumphs in the end. Top stroke!”
And now here’s the video clip. Press play and dance along…
Brighton‘s up and fast coming four-piece THYLA already made a huge impact last month with towering single Two Sense. To keep the effervescent momentum going the band is already back with a new vivacious cut from their upcoming, second EP.
Frontwoman Millie Duthie revealed the song’s story: “Lenox Hill is the hospital I was born in, with the track inspired by my early years as a kid living in New York City. It’s an honest and emotional coming-of-age tale. Life can take so many turns and you can forget where you came from and what makes you you. The important stuff like family can get set aside in the pursuit of whatever it is that drives you. Lenox Hill is about realising you’re lost and deciding to go back to your roots to find the way again”.
After a reflective first half ‘LENOX HILL‘ is catapulted in the air like a sizzling firecracker and explodes like a colorful flowers bouquet as if singer Millie Duthie has been freed from her demons, found her real self again and wants the whole world to know it. Joy of life triumphs in the end. Top stroke!

Terrifically powerful crackerjack with a towering impact on your aural radar! Damn right!
Who: “Brighton quartet proves adept at creating glistening dream pop that rushes forward with rhythms owing their propulsion and muscularity to post-punk.”
Pick: TWO SENSE – new single from sophomore EP out early 2020 – frontwoman Millie Duthie says: “Two Sense is about the short-term sacrifices we make in order to create space for long-term gains. It’s a song about growing up and claiming your right to self-determination.”
Score: ‘Two Sense‘ is a terrifically powerful and exceedingly dynamic crackerjack with a towering impact on your aural radar. Big emotions, big guitars, big vocals and on top of
all the rousing excitement a big chorus you can scream along. Juvenile adrenalin at its imposing best. An electrifying stroke you’ll have on repeat after one spin. Catch the fiery ardour right here…
