Estrons share new video for ‘Lilac’ and drop some UK Dates!

Welsh trio Estrons have delivered a short snappy video for their banger of a tune ‘Lilac’ and it complimants the song perfectly! The track received Track of the Week by Huw Stephens, which he loved so much he played it back to back.

Lead singer Tali Källström had this to say about the video:

“The Lilac video is a short and honest representation of how it feels in those dark moments at the end of a stressful night out. The protagonist fleets between anger and laughter whilst spinning in a vortex of her own mad moment. It’s a simple insight into the human psyche when things aren’t going too well.”

As well as this the band have planned themselves a very busy second part of the year with dates running up until December, with them travelling all over the UK playing some great venues. The band will also be supporting Garbage on some of those dates, wcich will make for a strong night for live music. Dates below!
