The London indie quartet’s new single, from their forthcoming third album, Here Is Everything. as an easy, carefree feel, but has a more emotive theme about memories of walking over a railway bridge to the hospital to give birth and how the memory deals with pain.
Band founder and frontwoman Juliette Jackson enlarges on this theme :”This is a bridge I cross every day, but somehow in my memory on that day it’s like a bridge over a canyon in a Technicolor Wizard of Oz jungle landscape. Like giant leaves and blurry edges and oversaturated colours. But it’s just a pissy graffiti-covered South London pedestrian bridge. And it’s about learning that memories aren’t always right, and you don’t have to hang on to them and be traumatized by them forever. I’ve since realised that this song has been more than a song to me, it’s been healing. Birth is traumatic, however you do it, and for me the early months of motherhood were even more traumatizing. I’ve found a way of reframing my memory of that period. You can forget, you can remember it differently, you can heal, you can live.”
Here Is Everything is out on 14 October via Fiction Records
