Information - Btcp: Lou Terry
“Sensational!” – John Cooper Clarke
Lou Terry is an up and coming South London-based musician, genre-mangler, music software builder and activist. The 2023 Black Country, New Road UK support and Radio 2-tipped artist fuses strange technology with timeless songwriting. His 2023 EP ‘Warmly, Alexandria’ charted 22 in physical sales. He is set to release his debut album in November 2024, is touring for its release, supporting Porridge Radio as well as Califone, and is playing taste-maker festival Left of the Dial in Rotterdam in October.
Through his quirky vocals and meticulously crafted folk soundscape, Lou’s music paints a picture of the people, events, feelings, doubts and misgivings of the everyday – often finding beauty in the mundane. In his own words, “If I’ve got the story at hand, the way in is just to tell that, the very specific situations that happened, and how they are related to things that are bigger”. Lou guides the listener through episodic stories with heart on the sleeve honesty and poignant lyricism – nodding to personal experiences like getting booted out of his home, repressed ecstasies of romance, or getting sacked from JD Sports. Lou Terry speaks for a generation that feels at odds with its surroundings.
His music has received support from Matt Wilkinson, Steve Lamacq, So Young, DIY Mag, Line of Best Fit, Dazed, Loud and Quiet, NTS Radio, The Most Radicalist, Hard of Hearing, Far Out Mag, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, New York Village Radio, International Times and BBC Introducing. He once won the heart of John Cooper Clarke who was so entranced he missed his train home.
