After teaming up with Peter Doherty (‘Midas Touch’) and Jamie Webster (‘I’m Lost (You’re Dead)’), Kyle Falconer continues an inspired run of collaboration by joining forces with the chart-topping Lottery Winners for his new single ‘Lady Coachella’. All three songs feature on his upcoming album ‘Lovely Night of Terror’ which is out on March 27th via Modern Sky / Run On Records.
Kyle’s recent singles all step outside of what you’d expect from his work with The View, and ‘Lady Coachella’ excels at doing likewise. Hitting the space where earworm pop hooks meld with effervescent indie energy, ‘Lady Coachella’ is a bright burst of melody built for euphoric mid-summer vibes. Its story captures that same atmosphere and will be repeated at festivals across the land. It’s about the spark of finding a love that could mean everything - only to discover that it only lasts for the weekend.
Kyle says, “This one started as a joke, taking the piss out of slam poetry. But when I came to write the chorus, I started thinking about the Coachella Festival. I’ve never been, but I imagined falling in love with a girl there — you only see her at the festival, and then you never see her again.
It turned into a wee story. Then we showed it to Lottery Winners and Thom was like, “Yes!” So it’s great to have them on such an energetic track.”
‘Lady Coachella’ emerges as Lottery Winners continue to go from strength-to-strength. Last year saw the band land their second consecutive UK #1 album with the collab-heavy ‘KOKO’ before hitting stadiums across the UK and Europe as guests to Robbie Williams. This summer will see them play their biggest ever headline show at the Leigh Sports Village Stadium on May 30th.

Kyle’s ‘Lovely Night of Terror’ campaign has so far been supported with airplay at Radio 2 and coverage from NME, with more to come. Outside of its singles, the record also features further collaborations with Justin Hawkins (The Darkness) and Dave McCabe (The Zutons) as well as a wealth of other songs which primarily blend complicated emotions with uplifting songwriting.
The album is available to pre-order HERE. All album bundles purchased from his official store will be rewarded with an exclusive signed art print.
Kyle is currently completing his pre-album tour, which has further dates to run in York, Liverpool and Carlisle ahead of two sold-out shows at Glasgow’s King Tuts. He is also embarking upon a record store tour which mixes intimate acoustic performances and signing sessions (in Bury and at four Assai Records stores) with album signings (in Manchester, Birmingham, London, Leeds and Sheffield). His summer festival plans are taking shape with headline sets at Bruce Festival and Sound Factory Festival followed by a set at Victorious.
