El Rancho is a bespoke and independent record label from Glasgow, Scotland, specialising in future cult recordings. El Rancho have been releasing records, tapes and CD’s since 2007.

Scottish trio LYLO emerge from a six year hiatus today with news of a new album, <i>Thoughts of Never</i>, a pristine body of work built on foundations of vulnerability and cinematic pop sensibilities via El Rancho Records. First taster from the album is a fusion of downbeat pop-club, Balearic beats and soul grooves in the form of ‘Hush’, featuring Esmé Dee (The Orielles).

<i>Thoughts of Never,</i> engineered and co-produced with friend Joel Patchett (Billy Ocean, King Krule), was written with the members residing in both Berlin and Glasgow, directly affecting the album's motifs.

Present in the album are topics of emotional communication, melancholy in metropolis and the willingness to (re)connect, which are all explored through a wonky Japanese inspired pop soundscape, with new and obvious nods to R&amp;B soul intertwined with ambient pads. The album is littered with an abundance of influences from musicians and movies alike, stretching from names such as Sade, The Blue Nile, The Pet Shop Boys, Eddie Chacon to The Great Beauty (2013) and Hana-Bi (1997), the latter in which the band would mute and play their songs over each day, “treating the album mixes as a soundtrack”, which in turn, heavily influenced the tracklisting composition.

The album includes several features and collaborations from artist friends, with the likes of Cassandra Jenkins (LYLO were Cassandra’s backing band on her last UK/EU album tour), Gerard Black (Babe), Esmé Dee Hand-Halford (The Orielles) and spoken word poet alore,, all making an appearance on the captivating new record.
