Music News - Lontalius shares new single 'Kick In The Head'
07 December 2015 - 0 Comments
New Zealand wunderkind Lontalius has premiered a new track Kick in the Head with The Line Of Best Fit today. The tune features Lontalius' signature intimate vocals and impeccable production. A strummed guitar line repeats itself over his plaintive appeal: "Stand for us / or run from us."

Eddie Johnston has been releasing music since the age of 13, but started to turn heads in the last year and a half with his gorgeous Casio covers of Top 40 songs from Nicki Minaj (Pills N Potions), Beyoncé (a gently crooned XO), Ciara(Body Party), Drake, Bieber, Pharrell (a mopey Happy) and others. Approaching the end of his teenaged years, a now 18-year-old Eddie began to create and share his own original compositions. Initially heavy on lo-fi presentation and shoegaze style aesthetics, Eddie's emotionally resonant songs steeped in youth, confusion and sadness have become cleaner, richly melodic, and lyrically focused.
Last year's Light Shines Through Dust again boosted Eddie's profile, with massive online pickup and plays as well as college radio chart success. Friends and collaborators like Lorde, Ryan Hemsworth, Tunji Ige and Corbin (Spooky Black), Japanese Wallpaper and Troye Sivan have helped as well. In the last 12 months, Eddie's been the subject of a FADER GenF profile and an i-D feature, as well as gaining accolades from taste-making media outlets like Dummy and Stereogum. Hemsworth recently shared Mooncatch - a collaboration between Lontalius and European producer CutMyLips - on his Secret Songs label.
