CMU Approved
Approved: Trills
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 19 October 2016
After years of honing their skills as an acapella group, Trills were almost ready to ditch their singing careers, before being picked up to record a song for a trailer for Carey Mulligan film ‘Suffragette’.
And now they’re preparing for the release of their debut EP ‘Lacuna’ – the first single from which, ‘Mud And Gold’, has already been featured in another movie trailer, for Disney film ‘Pete’s Dragon’.
Taking their considerable vocal skills – heard perfectly on their cover of James Blake’s ‘Retrograde’ – they’ve worked with producer Johan Hugo on ‘Lacuna’ to build a suitably grand, cinematic sound for their voices.
With the EP due out on 11 Nov, their next show is a Sofar Sounds gig on 25 Oct at a secret location in Fulham.
