Hello
We are PCPQ
Post Coal Prom Queen (FKA L-space) are Lily Higham and Gordon Johnstone. PCPQ have developed a unique sound by blending organic textures, retrofuturistic synths, and mechanical beats with ambitious pop sensibilities - fused together with Lily's distinct vocals. They have been heard on BBC Radio 1, 6Music, and BBC Radio Scotland, on TV's Made In Chelsea and in the National Library of Scotland film 'Living Proof', charted on Amazing Radio, and garnered international acclaim. Their critically acclaimed debut PCPQ EP and concept rap album Music for Hypercapitalists, alongside triumphant 2021/2022 live shows at the Hidden Door Festival and a headline show in London, cemented PCPQ as one of Scotland's most ambitious and promising acts.
