January

January is a UK rock and indie group from London. The line-up includes Simon McLean and Sarah Peacock, and the band is described as a shoegaze and indie rock act.

Background and sound

The group emerges on a British scene crowded with guitar-based bands drawing on canyon rock, space rock, and 1970s singer-songwriter balladry. Its wider stylistic field also places it alongside acts such as Delta, Mojave 3, Four Storeys, Goldrush, Teenage Fanclub, and the Cosmic Rough Riders.

Members and earlier affiliations

The lineup includes former members of Scala, Seefeel, and Jupiter, the Australian shoegazer band. These connections place January within a network of British and international shoegaze and indie projects.

Recordings

The band’s first full-length album is I Heard Myself in You. It is produced by the band with Mads Bjerke, who also works on tracks by Spiritualized.
