bittersweet alt-folk from Southampton

the debut album, out now - listen below

“A beautiful collection of neo-vintage-gothic-country, coherently cut from the same gingham cloth…if the cloth is a coarse gingham with slightly disturbing blood-stains on the edges.”

— Louder than War

“Standout songwriting…An immersive listening experience, balancing warmth and wit with darkly comic emotional nuance.”

— Obscure Sound

ABOUT Pegasuses

For fans of ridiculous band names, sweet harmonies and slightly twisted storytelling.

Pegasuses are husband and wife duo Dave Miatt and Laura Lamb. Based in Southampton, they write songs that tread the line between humour and heartbreak, inviting audiences to laugh, cry, or ideally, both.

Their debut album, Sea of Joy, produced by Russell Marsden (Band of Skulls/Alberta Cross) at Snook Studio, showcases their signature blend of sweet harmonies and darkly comic storytelling.

Whether performing intimate acoustic sets or full-band shows, Pegasuses create a world that’s oddly comforting, slightly surreal, and never quite what it seems.

About Sea of Joy:
Sea of Joy marks an expansion of their sound; fans of their acoustic performances can expect their trademark dual harmonies against a richer backdrop of instrumentation, including pedal steel guitar, synth and percussion. Listen to and download the debut album below.

“I’ve been a devotee of Dave since his Thomas Tantrum days, and now with Lamb’s stunning vocals in the mix, I’ve really loved producing this record.”

— Russell Marsden, Band of Skulls/Snook Studio

turner sims: ‘turn it up associates’ 2024

Pegasuses were awarded 2024's Turn it Up Associates grant, a development opportunity for musicians, supported by Arts Council England and led by Turner Sims in association with Soco Music Project. This project saw them perform with a full band for the first time at Turner Sims Concert Hall on June 28th, and provided a chance for audiences to hear the songs from Sea of Joy with full instrumentation.
