Biography

London Grammar

London Grammar formed in Nottingham in 2009, Hannah Reid, Dot Major, and Dan Rothman meeting at the University of Nottingham and developing a sound that drew on dream pop, electronic music, and indie in ways that were immediately atmospheric and distinctive. Reid's vocals were the emotional centre of everything they did — a powerful, melancholy instrument of extraordinary range and expressiveness.

'If You Wait' (2013) was one of the most acclaimed British debuts of the decade — a record of extraordinary beauty that produced 'Strong', 'Hey Now', and 'Wasting My Young Years'. It reached number two in the UK and established them as one of the most distinctive new British acts. 'Truth Is a Beautiful Thing' (2017) reached number one.

London Grammar have continued to release albums of consistent quality, with each record maintaining the atmospheric beauty and Reid's extraordinary vocal performances that have always defined their work. 'Californian Soil' (2021) reached number one in the UK. They are one of the most consistently beautiful and distinctive British acts of their generation. ⚠ Flag: post-2021 activity — verify any releases since 'Californian Soil'.
