About Thief LaneMolly Bobroff and Matthew Day
An indie folk duo from London, writing between London and York. Five singles out, released between November 2024 and May 2026.
Two voices that do not agree
Molly Bobroff sings hopeful and clear. Matthew Day sings rough and low. The two rarely resolve into a neat harmony, and that friction is the point of the band rather than a problem it is trying to solve.
The records are built on acoustic rhythm, layered vocals and very little percussion. Nothing is polished past the point where it still sounds like two people in a room. The songs are about staying in things you should probably leave, and about the gap between what gets said and what gets meant.
They write between London and York. Criminals, the third single, was produced by Tom Philpott and sits at 96 BPM, indie folk with an Americana lean.

Molly Bobroff
Vocals and guitar. The clear line in the middle of a song, and usually the one carrying the hope in it.
Matthew Day
Vocals and guitar. The rougher, lower voice, and the one that keeps a song from resolving too easily.
