“Lily Kershaw takes a journey with ‘Arcadia’…meditations on heartbreak, vulnerability, and love.” – CNN.com
“With its first note matching its last, Arcadia is not just another album to be put on shuffle during a late-night drive. It’s a story, with a decisive beginning, middle, and end. And just like any other story, you’re bound to get lost without the guide of a fearless narrator, opening up its world to you one line at a time.” — Earmilk
“Turn off the lights and surrender to the pervasive melancholy of Lily Kershaw.” — Refinery29
“purely raw, authentic, and unfiltered” — Nylon
“Lily Kershaw takes a dramatic turn right out of the gate with the radiant dream pop opener, ‘Unrequited Night’…Kershaw layers her songs with glowing analog synths, unique orchestral elements, and misty harmonies, while still occasionally revisiting the strummy acoustic framework that marked her earlier work…’Arcadia’ finds its own voice and pushes her into a more ambiguous and challenging creative territory.” — All Music “Featured New Release”
“Success is certain to follow.” – American Songwriter
“the L.A. storyteller shows just how much she has grown since ‘Midnight in the Garden,’ her precious debut album.” — PopMatters
“Lily Kershaw writes captivating ballads and sings them as if she’s the only person in this entire noisy city holding a conversation.” — Buzzbands.la
Los Angeles singer/songwriter Lily Kershaw has announced U.S. tour dates in support of her acclaimed sophomore full-length album Arcadia, available everywhere now. After a few dates in Europe, including supporting Joshua Radin in Paris and London, Lily will return for shows starting February 25th in San Francisco followed by stops in San Diego, Philadelphia, New York City and Washington, DC. All dates are listed below.
Weaving warmer analog sounds like organ, harpsichord and guitar with cinematic force, thanks in part to producer Ben Cooper (Radical Face), Arcadia is Lily’s most intimate release to date. But the strongest tool she wields is her voice, both in the simmering ferocity it carries and the poetry it speaks. Though the concept behind the record is epic to say the least, Lily is ultimately telling a story of acceptance, both of herself and the great mystery that is the universe.

Arcadia is the follow up Lily’s critically acclaimed debut album Midnight In The Garden (2013) and her follow up EP Lost Angeles (2018). In song and spirit, Lily is an old soul, but upon initial meeting she’s kinetic, ebullient, lively, and kind, quick with a joke and an infectious smile. Lily is a compulsive creator, she jots down melodies and lyrics as she’s wandering through her days. Born and mostly raised in Los Angeles, she offers an antidote to the long-mythologized Los Angeles glitz; she’s authentic, and honest, self-effacing and, above all, she is herself.
