Toronto's LYON Drops 'Gold Dust' via Impose Today; 'Falling Up' EP Out 9/16

By: Caryn Robbins Sep. 02, 2016

Toronto-born, LA-based indie pop songstress LYON will release her new EP Falling Up, September 16 via Black Box. She recently shared lead single "bodytalk" and today she unleashes "gold dust" via Impose. An offering of undeniable pop sensibilities, danceable beats and infectious synth melodies, check out "gold dust" HERE.

A follow up to her 2013 EP and single "Indian Summer" which hit #1 on M3's Top-20 and #3 on CBC Radio 3's Top 30, as well as a feature on Wolf Saga's cover of The Strokes "You Only Live Once" which hit #1 on Hype Machine twice, Falling Up blends the familiar LYON sound with a newfound sense of edge and adventure.

Shortly after a serious crash spun her car out on the black ice of Toronto, LYON, the musical moniker of Lauren Malyon, caught a redeye for her first writing trip to Los Angeles. In the sunshine and palm trees she found musical solace-a beautiful creative place that allowed her to remain blissfully unaware of the totaled car and struggles with a past relationship she had left behind. This seven-song body of work includes collaborations with Lisa Scinta, Joey Resly, FANN and xSDTRK.

Stay tuned for more on LYON coming soon!
