Lovejoy are known for their lush, elegant take on indie pop; the band first made their mark in the late '90s and early 2000s with a series of well-loved, and now highly sought-after, 7" singles, EPs and albums. Lovejoy returned in 2024 after an extended sabbatical, with the warmly received album '…And It's Love!', earning great reviews and radio support in the UK and further afield.
With the new release, 2024 also saw Lovejoy's Dick Preece back on stage, performing stripped-back acoustic sets in support of the record. The momentum didn't stop there, as he has now found himself in a rich vein of songwriting, recording new material and collaborating along the way with former Creation Records' boss Alan McGee (also of Biff Bang Pow!), also a keen supporter.
In the time since the last album release, life took a few unexpected turns, though things have since found their balance. These experiences now shape the sound and feel of 'Under The Weather'. While its themes touch on navigating unexpected currents, the album itself is anything but heavy going.
At its heart, this is a collection of Lovejoy's most open, tender and quietly uplifting songs to date. There's warmth, hope, love and gratitude running through it, even when the lyrics wander into darker territory. Guided by beautiful melodies, shimmering guitars, lush instrumentation and easy, unforced grooves, 'Under The Weather' leads you through some of life's tough moments with a reassuring hand. If you are feeling Under The Weather or not, these songs will lift your spirits. So take a moment, switch off and prepare to be soothed…
