about

Having been compared to the likes Kate Bush, St Vincent and Goldfrapp, artpop artist LIJO shines her light on the concept of identity and image.

Are we all personas? On a small scale, we all are the main characters of our own little shows. On a bigger one we act like we are the main character in this world. The way we try to alter the perception other people have of us in order to feel a certain way about ourselves is a constant battle between reality and make-belief. LIJO addresses this and its consequences, but then decorates it with a sense of lightheartedness and danceability, flowing melodies and feverish sounds.

Debut album THE PLEASURES OF SELF DECEPTION, a collection of both catchy and poetic art-pop songs, sets a lush scene for LIJO to casually dance from sarcastic indifference to gnawing doubt and from distant observance to the longing for connection.

LIJO mirrors the weirdness of human behaviour in music.

“There’s an element of Kate Bush and PJ Harvey to it - that oddball female solo artist quality that’s rare to find these days.” - Thnksfrthrvw (UK)
