Under the Radar: LECKI LECKI
Singer-songwriter Elo Pender and multi-instrumentalist Lewis Anderson are embracing a more dance-oriented direction, write Olaf Furniss and Derick Mackinnon
Energetic electro pop duo LECKI LECKI signed to renowned student-run label Electric Honey Records earlier this year, best known for helping kickstart the careers of artists including Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol and Belle and Sebastian.
Consisting of singer-songwriter Elo Pender and multi-instrumentalist Lewis Anderson, their debut single Grow Your Girlfriend, a synth-driven girl-pop anthem, helped establish their growing following.
The pair have since enjoyed regular support from Phoebe I-H and Stephanie Cheape via BBC Introducing on BBC Radio Scotland.
Their sound combines Pender’s charismatic vocals with Anderson’s versatile musicianship, and will appeal to fans of Wolf Alice and Charli XCX. Released last week, their new single Critical Analysis sees the duo embrace a more dance-oriented direction, expanding on the infectious melodies and synth-heavy production of their earlier material.
