Prima Queen

'Prima Queen's ethereal sound, which shimmers with delicate vocal interplay and glacial instrumentation, takes them to regal heights' NME Transatlantic indie experts Prima Queen announce debut LP 'The Prize', packed with effusive, empathic melodies, 'The Prize' represents a fresh era for a band primed and ready to truly assert their individuality. The songs of Louise Macphail and Kristin McFadden play like a love letter to the radical power of friendship; to the fans who have revelled in the band's bitingly charismatic storytelling, qualities which are showcased vividly throughout their entire debut record. Described, accurately, by McFadden as an album that 'screams empowerment and strength,' 'The Prize' uses the pair's fateful connection as a North Star for their shared journey towards growth. Tapping into the shimmering pop sensibilities of Haim and Jenny Lewis, an openness of spirit defines the 12 tracks, partly inspired by the euphoria the group experienced on stage over the past year while touring with the likes of Olivia Dean, Wet Leg and Whitney. Having built a glowing live reputation through appearances at the likes of Glastonbury, SXSW and Pitchfork Paris in recent times, Prima Queen have already attracted plaudits from all corners of the press landscape (The Guardian, The I Paper, The Independent, The Times, NME, DIY, Dork, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash), whilst their previous five singles have all landed on the BBC 6 Music playlist (Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens, Lauren Laverne, Craig Charles) to widespread praise.
