Lebanon Hanover are an ice cold reply to the alienated world coming from two warm beating hearts. Larissa Iceglass and WilliamMaybelline appear as true romantics of the modern age, admiring William Wordsworth, fascinated by the beauty of art nouveau aesthetics, exploring British seashores and forests at night, whilst being inspired by the urbanism of Berlin.

The duo first connected through Last.fm in the late 2000s before meeting in Sunderland, England in 2010. Their early recordings were created in a highly DIY environment, shaped by minimal production and an intentional raw aesthetic. Their music draws from 1980s post-punk and cold wave traditions, influenced by artists such as Xmal Deutschland, DAF, Kraftwerk, Malaria!, and Trisomie 21.

The band’s creative process is guided more by instinct than formal planning, with an emphasis on preserving original recordings and maintaining a sense of immediacy in their sound. Since their debut, Lebanon Hanover have consistently worked with a minimalist production philosophy, avoiding excessive polishing in favor of retaining the original texture of each recording. Their lyrics often reference literature and explore recurring themes such as love, death, and existential reflection.
