Biography (.pdf): 
(.doc): 
Peter Lyons is one of those mischievous, slightly shy, mix-everything-up-and-it’s-great kind of multi-instrumentalist / songwriter / producer types who can pick up an etch-a-sketch (or a disposable camera, or a household appliance) and turn it into a symphony.
As well as being prolific (Peter had already self-produced five albums before releasing on MC through ultra-indie Brighton label Tape Club Records in 2007) Pete’s also a songsmith of rare quality, with a vision all his own combining sunny optimism with a very sympathetic sense of human frailties and weaknesses and the born musician’s love of sonic tinkerings.
That Beck-meets-Cornelius-meets-Elliot Smith mix coupled to a raw emotional intensity live has one him praise and acclaim all over the south of England; so naturally we were ecstatic to discover Pete (who we’d assumed was far too good, too cool, too godlike to talk to us) was keen to work with us. ‘Wilderness’ / ‘Old Friends’, a split AA single with labelmates The Moulettes, is the fruit of this collaboration and is released worldwide through all good digital stores on 11/05/2009.
Fresh from well-received sets at The Great Escape in 2008 and with more appearances lined up this summer, it looks like 2009 might just be his year!
