LIVING IN SHADOWS ​

Living In Shadows was formed by award winning vocalist Zoe Gilby and multi instrumentalist Andy Champion as a studio project during the 2020 lockdown. Their distinctive sound, follows in the tradition of great English alt pop and progressive rock whilst also reflecting their background in jazz. The duo has released two albums, ‘Living in Shadows’ (2020) and ‘Neon Burning’ (2024) to critical acclaim. Since then Living in Shadows has expanded to a five piece band featuring Mark Williams on guitar, Ben Lawrence on keys and John Bradford on drums.

“(Living in Shadows) immerses us in music that skilfully combines several facets of musical styles: jazz, English pop and progressive rock… all interpreted with a lot of warmth and a beautiful technical expertise.” - (4.5 stars) Prog Critique (FR)

“The music here is an often passionately complex mix that produces a fusion dusted alternative melodic prog. Everything a prog lover could want... If you’re looking for something innovative in the cross-over prog area then start here.” - 9/10 DPRP (NL)
