Liz Green is set to release her new single ‘Bad Medicine’ on March 12th, ahead of a UK tour.

For years, Liz Green’s talent was heard only in makeshift venues, playing to tiny audiences across the country. With the release of last year’s ‘O, Devotion!’ though, the alt folk songstress seemed to reach a wider audience.

Green’s distinctive voice, her unusual style marked the Manchester artist out from the pack. In case you missed out, the songwriter has just confirmed plans for a new single and a full British tour.

Stripped from the recent album, ‘Bad Medicine’ comes backed with the never-before-released flip ‘Rybka’. As for the lead track, Liz Green has the following to say:

“This is probably my favourite song. It’s a different bag of badgers altogether from the first version of it. Me and Peri spent a long time trying to nail that trumpet solo. I eventually ended up playing it to him on a kazoo! Because I can’t afford to take a full band everywhere I go, I’ve built up a bit of a reputation for being a great mouth trumpet player.”

“There is a simple story. The sad story of a man who is neglected by his fellow men. Punished by them for his difference. When I mention him walking like a Bible prophet I think of a man I used to see walking round Manchester, striding, head high, beatific smile. I haven’t seen him around for a while. I hope he’s still walking that way. The opening lines are how I felt when I first heard Son House. I think I’d not heard the rawness of emotion come through a recording so easily as it did with his recordings. That’s the aim isn’t it. To capture a little bit of soul.”
