Brighton punk icons Lambrini Girls have returned with a compelling double-single release, unveiling contrasting new tracks "The Basement" and "Spilt". The songs offer a multi-faceted preview of their forthcoming sophomore studio album No Refunds, scheduled for release on January 15, 2027, via respected indie label City Slang, following their celebrated 2025 debut Who Let The Dogs Out.
"The Basement" delivers the band's hallmark abrasive roar, dissecting the sinister psychology of online misogynistic radicalisation and exploring how social isolation curdles into destructive resentment. In sharp contrast, "Spilt" pivots into unmapped sonic territory for Phoebe Lunny and Selin Macieira, stripping away distorted wall-of-sound instrumentation in favour of delicate acoustic guitars and a candid reflection on alcohol dependency and self-reckoning.
The twin singles join earlier album teasers "Cult of Celebrity" and "Bang Bang Bang", illustrating that Lambrini Girls are actively widening their creative palette while refining their biting satirical focus. Rather than relying solely on high-volume fury, the duo demonstrate that emotional vulnerability can be just as potent a catalyst for social commentary.
Alongside the release, Lambrini Girls have announced an extensive North American tour kicking off in Washington, D.C., on March 25, 2027, with support from Dublin's Sprints, following extensive UK and European winter dates.
