London group Another Sky have shared their new single 'Brave Face' – tune in now.
The band's post-rock leanings and orchestral sweep makes them a daring, overwhelming live proposition, a stunning noise with an intense, emotional edge.
New single 'Brave Face' is out now, and it comes as the group confirm their debut album will be released this year.
'Brave Face' is a potent return, the barbed lyric finding Catrin Vincent spitting out the emotional impact of a toxic relationship to claim her feelings as her own.
A raw, visceral offering, it's Another Sky cutting loose. Catrin comments…
"'Brave Face' was written for a friend ending a bad relationship. I saw so many parallels between her situation and my own. The lyric “you put on your brave face, now, girl” is something an ex once said to me. To me, putting on a ‘brave face’ means hiding struggle and living in denial. I wanted to reclaim those words and transform them into a war cry for myself and her."
"Instead of telling us to ‘suck it up’, I’m telling us to use our anger instead. The world tells women that if we get angry, we lose our softness and what makes us a woman. That’s not true. I’m asking us to accept our anger as necessary, in order to protect ourselves…"
Tune in now.
