Described as an "intensely British" record, Peanuts is a wry and observational album, with a newfound sense of compassion and reflection on Liz's inner feelings and their projection on the outside world. Peanuts is a playground game, also known as Mercy, where two kids twist each other's fingers until one cries out, 'Peanuts!', signaling that they have met their pain threshold. From 2013, Liz was performing as a backing singer for Bombay Bicycle Club up to their hiatus in 2016, and again when they reformed in 2019, touring the world. Liz has been a regular collaborator with the band ever since, “It was a life-raft for me. It was such a natural fit, and they became my friends for life” says Liz. Peanuts is Liz Lawrence's first album release with Chrysalis Records, spanning 11 tracks full of topics spanning from plant names to the gender wealth gap. “Peanuts is Cate Le Bon meets Primal Scream going off on one about landowners. It’s learning the names of different trees and sweating over being polite in emails. It’s a petition to stop Elon Musk from space[1]junking up the atmosphere so we can’t see the stars anymore and it’s a big deep breath after going under.” -Liz Lawrence
