A lost and found box for love, lolli's music combines longing, wistful melodies with unique pop progressions and beats.
A dichotomy of sweetness and sorrow form the 12 songs on lolli's demo album 'No In No Out'. The melancholy is tangible in "Such a Price" and "The World is a Movie Screen", leaving you hopeful and forlorn all at once. "The Vitamin Shoppe" is a snapshot of self-loathing, unrequited love, while "When Did You Get So Small" and "All These Games" highlight lolli's modern-pop sensibility. Lyrics are cleverly, liltingly phrased around seductive chords. The result is unforgettable. Delicate. Sexy. Music for lovers not fighters. Music that lingers long after the batteries die.
Compared to a 'modern-day-Joni-Mitchell', the band is fronted by singer/songwriter Kari Santoro. Supporting her with luscious soundscapes and intricate borderlines are lifelong musicians: co-writer Steve Kendall on drums and percussion, co-writer Robin Brooks on guitars, and Trevor Andres on bass. The album was co-written, co-arranged and co-produced by Jez Thomas (The Sunray Estate) in the UK.
Rooted firmly in reality, these likable musicians aren't fame-seekers; just 5 humans who love creating and playing music that crawls into bed with you and eats crackers all night long.
lolli was formerly known as grinConvention.
