Little May

Overview

Sydney trio Little May could be Australia's answer to folk warblers First Aid Kit. They've certainly been compared to the Swedish duo, and to New Zealand's Tiny Ruins, but at the moment they are carving out their own path. They've recently put out their debut, self-titled EP and are wrapping up an Australian tour with the legendary Rodriguez. But there's no rest for the wicked (or the wickedly charming, in this case). The Little May ladies are about to embark on a 12-date national headline tour to promote the EP.

The group's sound has been described as 'ghost folk' — and it does indeed brim with haunting melodies and unapologetically personal and nostalgic lyrics. Watch the strange video for their track 'Dust' to get a sense of their style.

It seems to be working. Hype is following Little May wherever they go — from appearances at Splendour and Laneway, to an intimate showcase in London, a string of shows at CMJ in New York, and now this tour back home. Tickets are selling fast (one Melbourne show has already sold out), so get on this.
