We've had Midlands-based SHE on the site last year, and the track we absolutely loved is the opening track for their debut EP, which you can stream right below! The band use lead vocalist Rebecca's infectious vocals combined with swirling synths and twisting dark guitars to create a diverse brilliant indie sound which is seeing the band going from strength to strength.
Rebecca explains where the inspiration for the track came from:

Rebecca explains where the inspiration for the track came from:
"I had a conversation with a young lad once about his own mental health and the imagery that came out in the stories he used to tell me were both fascinating and terrifying at the same time. His dreams and his visions blurred into one and he really lost grip on reality for a while – a real interesting character. I think trauma and tragedy can be a real motivator when you write music. It would be great if everything we sang about was all sunshine and flowers but life just doesn’t go that way."Taking inspiration from the likes of HAIM, Fickle Friends, and Foals, SHE have managed to craft their own unique brand of indie pop, ranging from cool and feel-good collected numbers to energetic toe tappers to darker more intriguing tracks, as reflected upon by the band:
Lead vocalist Rebecca describes:
"The EP as a body of work is something we’re all really proud of but its also been a real whirlwind of emotions too. It’s a bit like a moody teenager. It starts quite upbeat and lively but it also has moments of reflection where we take things down a notch and focus in on harder subjects and softer sounds."Once you work your way through the EP you can hear the band's improvement on their early tracks, from the opening "Body Talk" that hooks you from the off to the swirling "Howl". Then comes the rather chilled out "Lay Low" that really reminds us of London Grammar with the guitar lines and vocal hooks with the EP culminating with the beautiful track "Bring Me Down" which sounds like everything they've been doing so far but wrapped up in a bow, it may just be their best track to date.#
