Praise for Little Cub and Still Life
“Songwriting and musicality blossoming with experience.” Clash
“One of the most promising homespun British electronic acts in recent years.” The Independent
“Gleaming electronic pop that harnesses the sounds of artists as varied as New Order and British producers like Leon Vynehall and George Fitzgerald.” NME
“Little Cub seem to be concerned with making a very particular type of British suburban pop music—two parts Pet Shop Boys, one part Wild Beasts.” THUMP

Following the acclaim of their debut album Still Life, south London trio Little Cub have shared the video for stand-out track, ‘Breathing Space’. Watch HERE.
Directed by Lily Rose Thomas and edited by Thomas, Nick Pomeroy and bass player, Ady Acolaste, the video – shot on film in the band’s house – was inspired by the American video artist Sue De Beer. ‘Breathing Space’ is another showcase of the band’s sharp electronic pop production, interwoven with vocalist Dominic Gore’s emotive lyricism Gore says of the song : –
“’Breathing Space’ is a song about the negative spaces in a relationship and people and things that come in to fill those gaps. Don Paterson once said it’s easier to traverse the distance of space than to bridge the distance between one person’s mind and yours and here the central question is one of fidelity. That if someone keeps you at arms length for long enough at what point does so much come between you that the ties simply come undone.”
