Lonely Galaxy's sullen, shoelace gazing melodies crawl by, sounding like the theme music for the day your dog died, your girlfriend left you and you didn't get into the only art school you applied to. Like Perfume Genius , Lonely Galaxy is one young man, sitting at the piano, singing lyrics of internal anguish. But where emotion manifests itself as fragile in Perfume Genius's music, Lonely Galaxy is a confident balladeer, whose rich voice sweeps broadly across tearful instrumentation. He's the shut your bedroom door and sob so loud the bed frame [...]
London's swell Tough Love Records have released the second installment of their Young & Research sampler series today, featuring "a gamut of friends, family, old flames and future lovers". We're particularly overwhelmed by the fragile beauty of NFOP fav Lonely Galaxy 's brand new tune Strawberry Adore and the nice garage sounds of Belfast outfit Girls Names (who have their debut LP Dead To Me out in April via Tough Love in the UK/Europe and Slumberland in the US), but the rest of the 13 [...]
Transparent started life six years ago in London as a physical print fanzine. In 2006 the project curated shows around the city with artists including Girls, Laura Marling, Florence & The Machine, Foals, Telepathe, Noah and the Whale, The XX, Late of the Pier, The Very Best to name but a few. Like many print entities the magazine moved online to Transparent Blog - an essential check point for the most ardent music fan reporting the freshest sounds and tracks from around the globe with particular emphasis on the local London scene, Swedish pop & electro acts [...]
Click on any image to enlarge A sense of bored frustration and heavy expectation clings to the thick air in The Lexington this evening: sensations induced by the fact that this is, for most people in the sold-out audience, the first live show of 2011, and the first outside of the US for tonight's headliners. But before Denver based husband and wife duo Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore's hazy nostalgic soundscape can populate the room, it is time for a musician born closer to home. Catching the end of Lonely Galaxy 's opening [...]
Foreword: I've been out of education for so long that I think I've forgotten how to spell and those tricky little buggers like full stops and that so bear (bare? blurgh…) with me. Well… I guess I sort of have to admit that I started writing this post as a reaction to the BBC's Sound of 2011 longlist announcement, which was whenever that happened, most of the days have blended into one so I'm not too hot with months and weeks anymore which is equal parts liberating and cripplingly impractical for all of its romantic attraction. Most of [...]
- Neige ? - Non. - Terroristes ? - Non. - Volcan en éruption ? - Non. - Bon. Nous pouvons donc nous envoler pour Londres, et nous serons demain soir à 19h30 au Lexington pour applaudir Tennis , Lonely Galaxy et Elephant , concert organisé par RockFeedBack ! - Euh... - Oui ? - Et Elvis-Lénine , qu'est-ce qu'on en fait ? - Hmmm... Nous le laissons à ses grand-parents, [...]
Ahead of the release of their debut album, Cape Dory , married dream pop duo Tennis have revealed their first UK single, 'Baltimore', will be released this month via Young and Lost Club . Drenched in reverb, Patrick Riley's guitar swirls around Alaina Moore's saccharine vocals whilst the crisp percussion driven melody is less hazily nostalgic than previous track 'Marathon' but is just as compelling. The Denver based pair also have some good news for Londoners in the form of a second live date to accompany their previously announced tour . So if [...]
Music video for "Heavy" from Lonely Galaxy's 2010 EP 2 release.
There is no doubt that this year has produced yet another exceptional solo artist in Lonely Galaxy. Lonely Galaxy - EP2 (Transparent) 06/12/2010 is a post from: Music News, Album Reviews, Live Reviews, New Music
Filled up with undiminishable delight today to fully announce the next release on Transparent, "EP 2" by the returning Lonely Galaxy . We've been slowly setting the clutch of raw, hurting but ultimately triumphant new songs from Harry Granger Howell free for a while now and it feels good to be able to finally huddle them all together in one place, just as they belong. "EP 2" is a beautiful suite of songs from a very real place and a giant step forward for HGH - retaining the graceful fragility and [...]
This week I asked the lovely Lonely Galaxy , "What is your favourite chocolate to eat when you're on your own?" (HA!) You won't find this kind of searing journalistic inquiry anywhere else on the internet.
Maybe it was the gloomy disposition of Lonely Galaxy 's songs that meant EP1 only received a smattering of coverage around its release? Regardless, its follow up should ensure a healthy amount of anticipation ahead of a muted full length next year. Lonely Galaxy is 21-year-old north Londoner Harry Granger-Howell and he deals in the sort of down in the mouth music you daren't play in the presence of family in the worry they'd make some assumptions about your current mental demeanour. But rather than leaving you despondent as you then go about your day, [...]

There's something morbid or maybe just slightly pathetic about finding enjoyment in depression, but despite generally sticking to this trusty philosophy, we've found ourselves completely susceptible to the gothic charm of solo-Londoner Harry Granger Howell, aka Lonely Galaxy . Now there's no way to scientifically prove this, but we're willing to stake, erm, this guy's freedom on the assertion that it's probably impossible to get more melancholic than "Have A Heart". Notice that we say "probably". So we probably just can't be wrong. Jokes aside, there's almost nothing to joke about here. "Have A Heart" [...]
It's been a while since we've heard from London's Lonely Galaxy . Well, they have a new video and an EP coming out soon! The video was directed by Porcelain Raft . EP 2 is due out December 6th via Transparent . If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe.

Check out the sublime Porcelain Raft directed clip for this majestic, elevating new Lonely Galaxy chest-pumper "Bible Truth Depot" - taken from forthcoming "EP 2", out through us at Transparent on December 6th. The song, and its entire parent record, take the sparse, red-raw emotional wroughtness of EP 1 and beef it up considerably, Harry Granger-Howell drawing a strange kind of power from sadness. Lonely Galaxy - Bible Truth Depot [...]
Lonely Galaxy : Bible Truth Depot - Vidéo
London's Lonely Galaxy - better known to his friends as Harry Granger-Howell - dropped a sublimely beautiful 103 EP back in April on Transparent , followed up earlier this month by a nation-wide tour with Perfume Genius. We caught up with him just before his appearance at Cecil Sharp House - down the road from London Zoo - for something of an exclusive; the sublimely beautiful 'June', yet to to be released anywhere, and premiered here for The Line of Best Fit Sessions. The song hums with regret and resignation; an all too [...]
Photographs courtesy of Sonny Malhotra Set back from the hustle and bustle of Camden High Street on this blisteringly cold evening is the unassuming Cecil Sharp House. With its grandiose music halls and high ceilings this historic folk society house is the perfect setting for the bruised and delicate sound of Perfume Genius 's Michael Hadreas. Released in June of this year, the young Seattle born pianist's debut album, Learning , is an intimate, almost uncomfortably introspective collection of melodies. Having written and recorded the album whilst [...]
