English trio Isla Rico is making waves in the indie music scene with their signature blend of pop storytelling, atmospheric synths, and rock-inspired guitars. Formed by Cal Richards, Jasper Whitehead, and Harvey Rafferty, the band has quickly built a loyal fanbase, earning over 100,000 streams on their debut EP, Eternal Optimist, and sharing stages with acts like The Grogans.
Their latest single, Lost on You, takes their sound to new heights. A hauntingly reflective alt-pop track, it delves into the tension between unfinished business and craving the unknown. With introspective verses that feel almost self-persuading, the track crescendos into a chorus that surrenders to lustful desires. Epic brit-pop-style drums and textured synths give the song an irresistible energy, while a soft yet confident melody laces it with mystery and intrigue. Vocalist and writer Cal Richards explains, “The love-hate relationship is always sort of apparent when reflecting—the ‘what if’ versus the inner voice that doesn’t want to admit things went wrong. Most people distract themselves with lust, so we wrote a song about it.” The band’s recent success with singles like Wavelength, described as “the best of new indie brit pop” by BBC Radio DJ Chris Hawkins, and Lost on You showcases their evolution into one of the most exciting acts in modern indie music. With a headline tour and a second album slated for March/April 2025, Isla Rico’s star is on the rise. Combining introspection with electrifying energy, Isla Rico’s music continues to captivate. With Lost on You adding depth to their repertoire, the trio is cementing their status as a band to watch in the indie brit-pop scene.
