Arctic Lake are an alt pop duo[1] from London, England composed of vocalist Emma Foster and multi-instrumentalist producer Paul Holliman.[2] The band was originally a trio with founding member Andrew Richmond.[3]
Emma Foster and Paul Holliman met in 2012 while studying in London and formed Arctic Lake in 2014, together with Andrew Richmond.[3][4] They released their first original song online in 2014, titled "How Long Can You Stare".[5] Their debut single, "Limits", came out in 2015.[6] After releasing the single "Heal Me" in 2016, they were invited to perform at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in England that same year.[3]
Arctic Lake released their debut EP, titled Closer, in 2017 and their follow-up, What You May Find, in 2018.[7] See Inside, their third EP, came out in February 2020.[8] During this period, they had their first UK headline tour (in May 2018),[9] toured with Freya Ridings and Vancouver Sleep Clinic, and collaborated with house producer Lane 8 and neo-classical pianist Peter Sandberg.[10] In 2021, they teamed up with ZHU on "Yours", a noirish techno track that hit #16 on Billboard's Dance chart.[11] Their next single, "Lonely", followed on 10 September 2021.
Arctic Lake's sound has been described as "delectably dreamy alt-pop",[12] and Mundane Mag noted their "ability to channel tightly-wound emotions and turn them into breathtaking, electromagnetic anthems".[13]
