About the artist

Indie jazz

pencil is a London five-piece indie jazz band known for their "dusty" sound, which blends acoustic warmth, cinematic melodies, sprawling guitars, and expressive violin work to create an emotional and textural experience. Their music fills space thoughtfully, with each member contributing to a cohesive artistic gestalt. The band has steadily gained momentum, earning a reputation as an enthralling live act with performances at festivals like Green Man and The Great Escape, and tours with artists such as The Japanese House. In recent news, pencil announced their debut EP, 'Bohemian Clutter,' which was released on May 9, 2025, via State51. This six-track EP explores the hazy space between reality and fantasy, taking its title from Herman Hesse's novel *Steppenwolf*. The EP was preceded by the intriguing single 'Silent Corners,' shared on March 19, 2025, which builds from eerie beauty to something more unsettling. Another recent single, 'Sparkling Water,' was released on February 12, 2025. They have received support from BBC 6 Music and praise from publications like Clash, DIY, and Dork. The band is also currently working on songs for their first full-length album and has a headline show at The Waiting Room in London.
