Preen weaves the rawness and melancholy of 90s alternative folk into the playfulness of late-60s melodic pop. Three voices together in harmony – those of Robin Finetto, David Lawton and Evie Tarr – form their sound, not only in recordings and live shows but also at the heart of the songwriting process. The band live together with a borrowed piano in London, bonded by writing songs fuelled by Diet Cokes. They have become staples of the city’s indie scene, playing sold out shows at Moth Club, The Lexington and SJQ last year.
