Lump is the product of Brit Award-winning Laura Marling and Mercury Prize-winning Mike Lindsay. Lump’s stunning and essential second albumAnimalis released on Chrysalis Records and Partisan Records and is a vivid and psychedelic masterpiece.

Animal was a word Laura Marling threw into a lyric simply to meet a rhythm. But it seemed to capture the mood of the new record, and of Lump as a whole. Theres a little bit of a theme of hedonism on the album, of desires running wild, she says. And also it fed into the idea we had from the start of thinking of Lump as a kind of representation of instincts, and the world turned upside down. It is something childlike and grotesque and filled with possibility, they say. We created Lump as a sort of persona and an idea and a creature, says Mike Lindsay. Through Lump we find our inner animal, and through that animal we travel into a parallel universe.
