“As Emily’s mesmerising vocals glide over intricately layered electronic beats laid down by Liam, it’s hard not to be swept away” - Wonderland
“Ady's vocals sit up front, hypnotically floating over Fergus' meditative keys and calling to mind artists like James Blake, Bonobo, Little Dragon’s Yukimi Nagano, and early Cinematic Orchestra” - XLR8R
LE SON are London duo of Emily Ady and Liam Fergus. They blend meditative productions with intimate, hypnotic vocals to craft bewitching intricately-produced songs as masterfully shown on their self-titled debut EP.
With Fergus’s background as a trained pianist, LE SON partner elaborate harmonic motifs with close-mic vocal techniques that create a sense of eerie intimacy, calling to mind ASMR-style whispering. The effect is both unsettling and warmly intimate.
The EP follows their singles ‘Without a Sound’ and ‘Ava’, which topped the Spotify Fresh Finds playlist, charted in the worldwide Viral Top 50 and gathered tastemaker support from BBC 6 Music, Wonderland, Indie Shuffle, Creators Project, XLR8R, Complex and many more. ‘Without a Sound’ also featured on Oprah Winfrey Network drama Queen Sugar and earned public endorsement by influencers like Questlove.
