With KOKO just around the corner, I caught up with Thom Rylance and Kate Lloyd from The Lottery Winners in the middle of their whirlwind tour. We met in a rare moment of downtime, where the band could catch their breath after relentless gigs, long drives, and an exhausting schedule. As we sat down in the middle of the tour chaos, we delved into everything—from their upoming album to their creative process, collaborations, and what it truly means to be a working-class musician navigating an industry that isn’t always built for them.
