LAST APOLLO




Irish-born, London-based artist and composer Last Apollo (a.k.a Lucy Rice) has refined a sound so arresting that her live shows have gained a reputation and loyal cult following across Ireland and the UK. Beginning her career in Dublin in 2022, with her nationally acclaimed genre-bending debut EP ‘Ordinary Matter,’ Last Apollo was immediately touted as “One To Watch” by leading Irish music critics and tastemakers. Unconcerned by the boundaries of genre and form, Last Apollo borrows from the worlds of pop, rock and classical music (as well as a myriad of sub-genres) to sew together sonic tapestries exploring the raw, similarly borderless complexities of the human condition. Last Apollo’s songs are as intricately crafted lyrically as they are musically - each word is deliberate, weighted and merely amplified by her emotionally-charged vocal delivery. Having spent three years refining her artistic persona through touring and live performance, her return to the studio is marked with her new single “Dandelion,” a manifestation of her matured artistic persona and highly refined dexterity as a songwriter.
