it took a minute to get here but for over the last 6 months (and more), i've been quietly working on something very very special - my first music record. which feels weird to say because i've been writing a lot of music my whole life, but i've never put anything out. i guess some things take a lifetime to say, and i've spent the last few years learning how to say them.
this EP is the most personal thing i've made in quite a few years - in fact it couldn't be truer of who I am at this point in life - and saying that, there’s parts of all of me in it — from intimate dream-pop ballads to nihilistic bedroom-indie hooks, piano interludes and cinematic spoken-word pieces, it's a rollercoaster of emotions through modern day london, navigating family, relationships, desire, grief and resolution.
i'm really proud of how these songs came out and i hope they will quickly find their home out there in the world.
yesterday we shot a music video for the first single - 'open up'. in the meantime, here’s a small preview from the closing track, 'pictures (this can't be the way that we die)'. 💙
i have put so much time, effort, ££ & literally every single fibre of my being into these songs & i can't believe their time has actually come - its not just a little thing in my head anymore, we are doing the thing !!! the next few months are gonna be fun (i hope!!!)
more from me soon 💙
A week ago we finished our tour of Frankenstein across Europe which we've doing since January. It's been a hell of a ride, thanks to everyone who came out and supported, you've been the best audiences we could have asked for ❤️ Something like 7 countries, 35 theatres, and finally made my first million pounds!!! Hahah just joking. Still broke and funemployed as ever so if anyone's got any acting leads lmk. Thanks @tnttheatre@theamericandramagroup for the opportunity. Big up everyone else @_katdaly@gerald_m_dorrity@bastiantyrko@hollydemaine our director Christian & the greatest of them all & partner in crime Mr Matthew aka Woodie !!
