Lily Arminda puts emotion on the pedestal on her debut album, Swoon. There’s a can’t look away quality to this body of work that grips you, whether it be through her flair for the romantic, fascination with the dramatic, or the heat of the moment instinct that drives each song. She knows exactly how to be at once, in and out of control, as a catchy spectacle.
Produced by indie duo TOLEDO, this dream team first took Arminda into pop stardom with “When You’re Lonely” off her EP DTR released in 2021 on Urban Scandal Records. Over the years, Arminda has had the honor of opening for artists like Lucy Dacus, The National Parks, and Benjamin Francis Leftwich, and playing Bunbury Music Festival with headliners Post Malone, The Chainsmokers, and Blink-182.
She performed many of these songs for the first time at her beloved year-long house show series that took place in her Bushwick apartment alongside friends like Charlie Kilgore (MICHELLE), Hudson Freeman, and Vern Matz . These days, Arminda hosts shows with her band at New York venues like Baby’s All Right, Nublu, and Rubulad.
Arminda masters the art of a glamorous meltdown on album tracks such as Bad Mood, and her debut album Swoon at large. The energetic nature of the song aids to letting go in real time behind the longing lyrics. Arminda revels in heartbreak all the while there's no doubt that she'll pick herself back up again and be better off for it. Lily Arminda is here to make you Swoon, out December 11th.
