Born and raised in Sardinia, a magical island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, a place that recalls mystical legends and the strength of a population that has fought throughout history to keep traditions alive and never be fully conquered, Lisa and Marina moved to London thirteen years ago. Some time later Lilies on Mars emerged, the result of many long nights spent listening to music and jamming with every imaginable instrument at their home studio in Hackney – from guitars to vintage organs, synthesizers, effects and drum machines. The contrast of living between these two places has had a profound effect on Lilies on Mars’ music.

It became a way to navigate their experience, gently incorporating all the information that inspired them, becoming notes and melodies but more precisely a sound. Delicate, surreal and sometimes disturbing, like a lily growing on a red planet. This is the imagery within which they are suspended, where time does not exist. Collaborations with Italian pop experimentalist Franco Battiato also dramatically influenced and inspired the project in its
early stages.

Their brand new album ‘?GO’ is to be released on 26th February 2016 by the Italian label Lady Sometimes Records, together with a live in store at Rough Trade East London.
