Bristol-based rock band Little Thief have released their new single, Lost In Love. We asked them the BIG questions . . .

Formed in 2015 by long-time collaborators Charlie Fitzgerald and Rhii Williams, the duo released Lost In Love to celebrate their recent engagement announcement.

Speaking about the single, vocalist and lyricist Charlie says, "We wanted to write a song that explored the unspoken, unexpected, sultry passion that creeps in when you're six feet deep."

Tell three things about yourself . . .

Fitz sneezes if he eats anything minty. Rhii is Welsh and has a mild spaghetti addiction. We got engaged in May whilst riding a motorbike round Spain for three weeks.
