Lyon Apprentice Reveal Their New Dream Pop Single ‘Alice’

Having released their debut EP 'Be Honest, Be Wild, Be Free' back in 2014, Australian-raised, Manchester-based duo Lyon Apprentice bring forth their new single 'Alice'. Dedicated to a friend who lost her husband, the indie/dream pop production is a step further from Lyon Apprentice's past sound which embodied folk leanings. In a press statement regarding the new single, Adam Lyon wrote: "Alice was a 92 year-old patient of mine when I worked as an exercise physiologist. We became good friends. She often told stories of her late husband’s experiences in WWII as an RAF Lancaster bomber pilot and how he died of cancer five years after the war ended, leaving her with four children. Reflecting on her marriage, she once told me ‘when I feel this way, I learn to walk on’ and the line stuck with me. Perseverance is a quality I admire and my conversations with Alice always left me humbled, grateful and inspired."
