Bratt, backed with another new song, My Wave, will be released on a limited edition 7" through Memphis Industries on Record Store Day, April 21. It is the Minnesota-based singer's first new offering since 2016's 'Impossible Dream'.
Speaking about the tracks, she said:
“These two songs are kind of the last ones I wrote with lyrics in them, at least, for the time being. "Bratt" was intended to be sung from a teenage perspective, appropriating that unsentimental attitude while simultaneously looking back at yourself at that age, all of the insecurities that went along with it, letting go of your self-judgement on the past."
""My Wave" was intentional in its use of repetition and very few lyrics. I like the idea of words carrying the same sonic weight as another instrument, more or less a textural addition rather than a centrepiece or emotionally derivative. That being said, the lyrics themselves seem to morph in their meaning with the repetition; maybe referring to the loss of yourself at times, or the loss of another, our connection to the natural world, or an emotional disconnect. Finding the strength to recognise that you hold the power to finding yourself or controlling your own connection to the world around you and others is simple, and powerful."
Prior to the record's arrival Haley will perform at Spillers Records in Cardiff on April 20 and following its arrival will head out on a tour of UK record shops, including Resident Music, Pie and Vinyl, and Banquet Records.
