Lilies on Mars is the adventurous dream pop project of Sardinians Lisa Masia and Marina Cristofalo. Experiences like collaborating with Franco Battiato on various projects and creating a tribute show for David Lynch inspired them to form the group. They released their self-titled debut album in 2008. After adding Matthew Parker as their drummer, the group recorded Wish You Were a Pony and won a remix contest held by Christian Fennesz. After Wish You Were a Pony's 2011 release, Lilies on Mars made their way to 2012's South by Southwest festival. Valentina Magaletti became the band's drummer in time to work on Dot to Dot, released in Italy in 2013. Dot to Dot received a wider release in 2014. ~ Heather Phares
