Chartreuse + Moreish Idols

Since their debut album in 2023, they’ve toured consistently including a sold-out Lafayette (600 tix) that year. They’ve pulled in some great supports globally from Local Natives in the U.S , Puma Blue , Paper Kites , Bombay Bicycle Club and just come off the Palace tour as main support with an Eventim Apollo show included in London (December 2024).

Chartreuse resist easy definition. The Black Country four-piece have been close friends since they were at college. In 2013, Mike & Harriet Wilson started playing folk music together and a year later, they added a rhythm section, with the addition of Mike’s brother Rory on drums & Perry Lovering on bass. They’re very close friends & the songwriting is an extension of this intimacy. Their songs might find Harriet singing Mike’s lyrics, or vice versa. “It takes a lot of trust, because the songs aren’t short of emotion,” says Harriet. The album shows off Chartreuse’s spectacular range to full effect & there is a clear sense of figuring it out as Morning Ritual reaches its end, “I get to the end of the record, & love that it leaves me wondering, what’s next for this band?” says Harriet. Hope, certainly, & a sense of possibility, with a defiant refusal to be boxed in.
