Lifts, a 5-piece alternative/art-rock/post-punk band hailing from Dublin, emerged during the lockdown with a uniquely open-minded approach to songwriting, characterized by layered and varied instrumentation. Their latest offering, the 6-minute magnum opus Wrapped Up, showcases electronically augmented violins, jazz drumming, passionate vocals, expressive piano, and intricate guitar work. Lifts tightly constructs songs that draw inspiration from jazz, contemporary classical music, folk, and post-punk. Brace yourself for a whirlwind of emotion, an explosion akin to a volcano erupting and leaving nothing untouched.
If you find yourself near Dublin on the 25th, catch them live at the Workman’s for their final headline show of their first UK/IE tour in support of their single Wrapped Up. Check for details over here.
