I actually switched out a three minute song at the last minute. Figured the bedroom pop world wasn’t ready for my prog era.

The election noise was bleak indeed but something worthwhile came out of it here. This whole EP is a peach (and the title track, well oh my goodness).

I absolutely adore Fran’s latest mini album and this track in particular manages to combine both those folk and electronic leanings into a unique off-kilter beauty. Highly recommend:

Escape was written in the midst of the UK council elections earlier this year. The insufferable noise of the rising far right was everywhere, and I found myself increasingly looking for ways to escape the chaos and preserve my mental health, whilst staying engaged and empowered…

This is OUT NOW: the magnificent new double A-side vinyl debut of @shopfiresmusic.bsky.social. You can hear the deeply lovely first song now, and buy it obviously! The gauzy, light-dappled sound of these songs, coupled with their emotional currency, move me so much. Proud to be involved!
