Having already achieved international success, London Grammar - comprised of guitarist Dan Rothman, pianist Dot Major and vocalist Hannah Reid – will release a special/extended U.S. edition of their stand-out debut album “IF YOU WAIT” on March 25. The album will feature two previously unreleased bonus tracks, “Maybe” and “High Life,” as well as an exclusive brand new remix of“Strong” by the acclaimed Emile Haynie (Lana Del Rey, Kid Cudi, Bruno Mars, Eminem) – see full track listing below. The album is currently available for pre-order on CD HERE, special DOUBLE LP VINYL HERE.

“IF YOU WAIT” has seen widespread acclaim since its release internationally last year. Pitchfork applauded the album as “a stylish debut that demonstrates both their immense talent and impressive instincts” with Under the Radar noting, “London Grammar deliver their hard-won truths with such an aching sincerity it becomes impossible not to listen.” The New York Times also praised the band, observing “Longing, loving, leaving: Those are the boundaries of the impeccable pop universe that London Grammar has built for itself.”

London Grammar will celebrate the release of “IF YOU WAIT” with a nearly sold-out U.S. headline tour, kicking off at SXSW where they have been confirmed to perform at iTunes Festival at SXSW (iTunes.com/Festival) From there, the band will tour across the U.S. and Canada, including sold out shows at Los Angeles’ El Rey and New York’s Irving Plaza (see full itinerary below).

With sold-out tours in Europe, North America and Australia in 2013 and a debut album certified PLATINUM in the U.K., and GOLD in France, Germany and Australia. London Grammar has undoubtedly become one of the most exciting debuts of the past year. The band were nominated for Best Breakthrough Act for 2014 at the prestigious BRIT AWARDS and made their U.S television debut onNBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in January, where they wowed audiences worldwide with a powerful rendition of “Strong.” The song was recently featured as ‘Single of the Week’ on iTunes in the U.S. and continues to climb the charts and break new grounds in radio.

“Longing, loving, leaving: Those are the boundaries of the impeccable pop universe that London Grammar has built for itself.” - The New York Times

“Reid's massive pipes are complimented by quiet, delicate instrumentation. Dan Rothman's acoustic guitar and Dot Major's muted percussion drive the rhythm.” - Rolling Stone Magazine

“(London Grammar) have produced a stylish debut that demonstrates both their immense talent and impressive instincts.” – Pitchfork

"London Grammar deliver their hard-won truths with such an aching sincerity it becomes impossible not to listen.” - Under The Radar Magazine

“Americans learned last night, (London Grammar) are fully capable of bringing their smoky, glamorous gravity to the stage. The group made their American TV debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night and both performances were the sort that you remember afterwards.” - Stereogum

“Hushed piano chords and lazy, languid, circular guitar lines create a bed that lead singer Hannah Reid floats above with a luxurious, chocolate syrupy voice somewhere between Kate Bush, Bat for Lashes’ 
- American Songwriter


The standard edition of London Grammar’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘If You Wait’ is currently available in North America oniTunes
