LUNIR

“…effortlessly cool…” - The Skinny

German-Scottish duo LUNIR return with another infectious slice of electro-pop to feast your ears on. Cubs is out on 4th October 2019.

Combining pop, soul and electronic sensibilities, LUNIR are an artist that refuses to be pigeonholed. Cubs feels effortlessly cool from the offset, with Becky Sikasa’s rich, sultry vocal feeling instantly reminiscent of the likes of Solange or Emily King. The pair’s flawless harmonies soar effortlessly over jangling guitar twangs and pulsating drum beats to create an undeniably addictive piece of feel-good alt-pop.

Talking about the single, David Scobie elaborates, “I recently discovered I'm now too big to navigate between the branches of trees and began reminiscing about my childhood friend and I running carefree through the forest like a pair of cubs. This track is about this feeling, like a wild freedom where opportunity for joy abounds.”

Becky and David originally formed LUNIR in Edinburgh in 2015 and have since gained support from the likes of The Skinny, BBC Radio Scotland’s Vic Galloway, Amazing Radio’s Jim Gellatly and 1Live in Germany to name a few. They have also sold out shows and toured across the UK and Germany, performing most recently at Wide Days, c/o Pop and TRNSMT Festival earlier this year. 

Catch them live next at Tenement Trail Festival and Cologne Music Week before the year is up.
