Liss

Denmark's Liss make yearning pop influenced by sleek R&B and '80s synthesizer sounds. After finding an audience with their first two singles in 2015, the quartet went on to refine their sound on the EPs First (2016) and Second (2019). Called Aarhus while the members were still in high school, Liss showcase the talents of lead singer Søren Holm, guitarist Vilhelm Strange, bassist Villads Tyrrestrup, and drummer Tobias Laust. The group debuted in 2015 with the two-song single Try/Always, featuring production from Rodaidh McDonald (the xx, Savages, Jamie xx). In 2016, Liss released the four-song EP First, which included the single "Sorry." Further honing their smooth style, the band returned in 2019 with another EP, Second. ~ Matt Collar
