Other information about London Grammar.

London Grammar are a British trip hop trio formed by Hannah Reid, Dot Major and Dan Rothman. Their début EP Metal & Dust was released in February 2013 by Metal & Dust Recordings Ltd. Their début album If You Wait was released on 9 September 2013. London Grammar’s music has been described as “a blend of ambient, ethereal and classical sounds” with melancholy guitar, soaring vocals and plaintive lyrics.

Hannah Reid’s powerful, brooding vocals, prominent on all of London Grammar’s tracks released to date, are often compared to those of Judie Tzuke and Florence Welch. Reid also contributes to the band through her self-written lyrics which she describes as “emotionally affected”. As disclosed in an interview with a Glamour UK magazine, she “writes about people who come in and out of my life.” The song “Wasting My Young Years”, which has received over 2.8 million views on YouTube, was written about her ex-boyfriend.

The music video is directed by André Chocron, a Film director based in Oslo. Working with music videos and commercials. Represented by Motion Blur in Scandinavia, FRIEND in UK, LEGS in the US and U-MAN in France. Runs Frokost Film, a small music video production company in Oslo.
