L

A Love Supreme is a rewrite of John Coltrane’s album of the same name. L — the three-piece rock band that can’t help but fall apart — attempts to hold together a choir of ten. Each performer wearing headphones, responds to private instructions.

Somewhere in the noise: A Love Supreme.

L are a Glasgow trio made up of vocalist/ card magician Jack Paton, guitarist Jack Mellin, and drummer Laurie Pitt. Together, they perform intense, dissociative music that combines Paton’s confrontational spoken word with Mellin & Pitt’s blistering take on metal, jazz, noise and art rock.

L are praised for their emotional live shows. Paton’s earnest vocals veer from cartoon-croon to body horror—set to the microsecond by Mellin & Pitt’s pinpoint shredding. Through explicit narratives and technical demolitions, L create a tragicomic theatre of existential pain and absurd freedom.
