Lizzy Plapinger Reveals New Single GIVE UP THE GHOST, Announces EP

LPX is the solo alt vehicle of Lizzy Plapinger, co-founder of boutique record label Neon Gold Records (Christine and the Queens, Haim, Charli XCX, MØ, Tove Lo, Marina and the Diamonds) and lead singer of alt pop darlings MS MR. LPX has been described as "a modern New York City sound if there ever was." In her own words "I'm too rock for pop. I'm too pop for rock. I make music for those who don't care about what box it fits in."

Today, after just wrapping up a North American tour as main support to MØ on the heels of an Australian tour with Falls Festival, LPX shares her new single, "Give Up The Ghost" HERE (produced by Guy Connelly and mixed by John O'Mahoney). Cut from the same romantic nostalgia as New Order or War on Drugs, "Give Up The Ghost" is pure heart fuel. Lizzy describes the single as "the action, affirmation and reflection of letting go and moving forward. Fresh starts from burnt ends."

The single ushers in the next chapter of LPX and coincides with the announce of her highly anticipated sophomore EP, Junk of the Heart, slated for March 2019. Late last year, she revealed the first EP track "Might Not Make It Home" HERE.

She independently released her audacious debut EP, Bolt in the Blue, in January 2018 to widespread critical acclaim. PAPER Magazine described it as "an electrifying six-song collection that melded the gutsy-tender songwriting of Karen O or Jenny Lewis with the spunk of Lily Allen and the pop sensibility of a Florence + the Machine, documenting her remarkable reflections on the complexities of modern romance." Mixed by both Rich Costey (Muse, Interpol, Arctic Monkeys) and John O'Mahoney (LCD Soundsystem, Metric, Kills) the EP was executively produced by James Flannigan (MØ, Matt Maeson).

Singles "Slide" and "Better" (a collaboration with WHAT SO NOT) and most recent release "Might Not Make It Home," produced by GRAMMY Award winning Tommy English (Kacey Musgraves, Børns, K Flay), have all gone #1 on triple J radio in Australia.

Live, LPX has performed as support for heavyweights Haim, MØ and RAC across North America on separate tours, one off dates with Glass Animals and St Lucia, as well as a string of her own sold out headline shows. Additionally she's graced festival stages for NGX in NYC, Fall Classic in DC (an *all female festival* she also co curated with Maggie Rogers) and most recently Falls festival in Australia alongside artists such as Interpol, The Vaccines, Catfish and the Bottlemen etc.

She's a future festival headliner in the making and her bold and high energy live show is where the project, and she, most come alive.

Praise for LPX:
"[Might Not Make It Home] is a vintage sounding tune, with blunt scuzzy guitar that recalls the full-bodied, primal energy of The Strokes and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, while its bright atmospheric swells put Arcade Fire and Wolf Parade flavors on your tongue, all perked up by buoyant boom-clap pop beat a la the modern Top 40 acts like Charli XCX and Icona Pop, whose magic she helped discover." - PAPER

"Plapinger's vivid style is just the visual manifestation of her role in indie music right now, and it proves she's a force to be reckoned with." - Vogue

"Fiery and fantastic" - Wonderland

"'Tightrope' [is] a left field pop gem that blasts with fuzzed-out energy and emotion, recalling the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Klaxons, and The Strokes." - Billboard
