Thredd
thredd is the collaborative project from musicians Will Lister, Max Winter, and Imogen and The Knife — the first (and only) band to emerge from West London’s notorious Laylow residency. Their debut album It’s Lovely, Come On In arrived in August 2025 via Scenic Route. A UK tour followed, including a sold out headline show at Spanners, London.
The project was born in November 2023, when the trio turned Laylow’s basement into a temporary studio and wrote new music to perform live every Wednesday for four weeks straight. With no time to second-guess, they chased instinct over polish, shaping a sound they call “cold pop”: atmospheric and emotionally direct, with sharp melodies cutting through textured, moody backdrops.
In the years leading up to the residency, the trio shared a studio in South London, honing their individual crafts: Will’s intricate drum programming and production, Max’s intuitive grasp of harmony and arrangement, and Imogen’s striking lyricism, melody, and voice. The combination is both familiar and boundary-pushing; music that feels immediate but rewards repeat listens.
