Little Lion by Llennett
"Little Lion" is the highly anticipated 2nd album from Llennett, marking a return to the shelves after 12 years. This genre-bending collection of songs is a testament to resilience and inner strength, exploring themes of overcoming trauma and adversity. The album's title, "Little Lion," is a direct translation of Lynnette's name, symbolising the powerful core that emerges when facing life's challenges.
Musically, "Little Lion" is a diverse and dynamic experience, weaving together grungy textures, ethereal instrumentals, an atmospheric trip-hop-esque feel with both dark, broody moods and moments of uplifting energy. Lynnette's vocals have reached new heights, showcasing a powerful and experimental range, complemented by crunchy keyboard chords, soaring flutes, roaring guitars, and the incredible basslines of Andy Durham.
Standout tracks like "Stranded" and "Little Lion" offer a glimpse into the album's emotional depth and musical innovation, making "Little Lion" a compelling and deeply personal journey for listeners seeking strength and inspiration.
So, what’s your animal?
I am Little Lion. Hear me ROAR!

DIY music - from Grunge to Trip-Hop, dark n heavy to light n happy. Eclectic is my middle name.
A varied and bizarre taste in music has brought out the mad mix of different styles that created Llennett. After writing for years, doing things by ear has always felt like the natural way to do things. Since there's a difference from song to song, there should be something here for everyone.
