Bryde returns with rabble rousing new stomper ‘Honey’
Stream here
New EP to be released in November via Tipping Point Records
Bryde headlines The Courtyard (13th October) & heads out on a UK tour this autumn – tickets here.
Taking thrilling dynamic cues from PJ Harvey’s early output, Bryde’s latest single ‘Honey’ is a hard hitting sonic assault which sees the London artist turn up the electric guitars. It bears the indelible stamp of Bill Ryder-Jones who takes production duties. The outcome is an intensely gratifying salvo of unabashed attitude replete with lyrics that wouldn’t be out of place in a Courtney Barnett song: “you’re like a bad word, I think I misheard”.
Since setting out as Bryde, Sarah Howells has proven herself to be one of the most singular vocalists and songwriters in British indie rock. She’s a powerful projectionist with a tonal range that will likely see her drawing a few comparisons to her international axe-wielding peers Angel Olsen, Mitski and St Vincent.
Praise for the Welsh songwriter has been well-bestowed from outlets like The Line Of Best Fit, Earmilk, Nylon, 6Music and Radio 1. In ‘Honey’ she takes a step into galvanising new territory. ‘Honey’ is available on all streaming services now and is the first part of an EP to be released in November via Tipping Point Records.
