Poppy and captivating

“Their music is poppy and captivating, the songs get stuck fast, but at the same time the music contains both seriousness and depth. The ability to combine the two qualities has the duo in common with, among other things, Morrissey.”

Joakim “Oskorei” Andersen, Motpol

Nina Simone

“The singers vibrato brings in mind associations with Nina Simone, that also was a protest singer – but in a completely different context and time. Lilou sings with a pathos that one finds among traditional protest singers such as Buffy Sainte-Marie.”

Projekt Morpheus

Eerie, brooding darkness

“Eerie, brooding darkness dressed in melody and bad attitudes!”

Edward Nordén

Saturday, beer and sausage

“Saturday, beer, sausage 99% meat and a new album by Lilou & John max volume! Perfect!”

Abraham Patriark

Motörhead and Dead Kennedys

“It is difficult to compare their sound with something else. Critics have compared them with Motörhead, Nina Simone, Roky Erickson, Dead Kennedys, Bob Seeger, Buffy Sainte-Marie and The Clash. They undoubtedly show that they are a band that cannot be easily defined by narrow genres.”

Thomaz Wiberg, Rosa Traktor

A unique art product

“The band’s musical style is very varied and progressive while their lyrics are politically incorrect, which in combination with their visual appearance create a very unique art product.”

Traversing the Introspection

“The dank languishing sounds find the listener in consideration of rope or blade, yet like Leonard Cohen, is able to traverse the intense introspection leaving the audience not feeling isolated rather sensing a coexistence with the isolated silos around.”

Tim Whale, Emerging Indie Bands

Sound UFOs

“Sound UFOs Lilou & John from the Swedish countryside are hard to grasp. They go from punk to folk in a second, make you laugh with an absurd clip, before grabbing you with deep and profound vocal intensity.”

Aodren Pecnard, Djolo
