Låpsley signs to XL Recordings, announces new EP

It’s not been long since Låpsley unveiled her first new music in seven months, in the form of ‘Falling Short’, but now she’s back with even bigger news: she’s signed to XL Recordings.

The Liverpool-based newcomer - who already has singles ‘Station’ and ‘Painter (Valentine)’ to her name - has confirmed details of her signing to the independent powerhouse and will celebrate by releasing a new EP early next year.

The singer - real name Holly Fletcher - will unveil the four-track ‘Understudy’ EP on 5th January 2015. The lead single is her most recent offering - which also forms part of the Annie Mac Presents 2014 compilation - and will come accompanied by three new tracks. It’ll be released as both a digital download and a 12” vinyl.

The tracklisting for ‘Understudy’ is as follows.

1. Falling Short
2. Brownlow
3. 8896
4. Dancing

News of her new release comes ahead of her already sold out hometown show next month, where she’ll perform at 24 Kitchen Street on 1st November.
