Landshapes are a British band known primarily for its effects-heavy psychedelic alternative rock.
The group consists of Heloise Tunstall-Behrens (vocals, violin) and Luisa Gerstein (vocals, ukulele) with Jemma Freeman (guitar, vocals) and Dan Blackett (drums, vocals). The band members first met as students at the University of Bristol. The band formed in 2009 as Lulu and the Lampshades. After shortening their name, they released their debut full-length album Rambutan on indie record label Bella Union in 2013 and their second album, Heyoon, in May 2015.
Band members Tunstall-Behrens and Gerstein are known for their revival of the 1931 Carter Family song "When I'm Gone" as "Cups".{{cite web | title=Cups, You're Gonna Miss Me: Evolution of a Song | url= http://atomicsam.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/cups-youre-gonna-miss-me-evolution-of-a-song/|website=Atomicsam.wordpress.com| date= 24 June 2013}}
