The Black Lagoons

The Black Lagoons are a four-piece band based in Leeds/London. The group consists of 
two brothers and two cousins. A family who together have built an intense world of music 
that feels familiar yet surreal. A listener might think that Ennio Morricone, Glen Branca, and 
Angelo Badalamenti had joined forces to compose music for The Gun Club, or that Lee 
Hazlewood had borrowed The Bad Seeds from Nick Cave. The band strikes a balance 
between experimental dissonance and catchy hooks with cinematic melodies. This sound 
has evolved over 10 years of playing together, starting as teenagers playing the likes of 
Eddie Cochran, Chuck Berry. and Johnny Cash. Through these years of evolution, they’ve 
supported acts such as The Wytches, And Yet It Moves, Warmduscher, The Psychotic 
Monks, and more. A thread of rock ‘n’ roll has continued down the line and woven itself into 
their debut album, ‘These Hills We Ride’. 
The conception of the debut album began in Leeds in 2022, found its way to Ramsgate to 
be recorded in 2023, then to the ears of French label Creme Brulee, to finally be released 
via the label in 2025.
