PREMIERE: Mothercanyouhearme – ‘Knowing You’

Following last year’s Mother Nature album, London duo Rosie Krause and Georgia Mancey – aka Mothercanyouhearme – have now announced the release of new EP, People².

Taken from the EP, new single ‘Knowing You’ oozes an uplifting jangly scuzz as a lilting romanticism flows alongside catchy sunny hooks, and a subtle gritty angst. With shades of the likes of Diet Cig or Partner, it’s a glistening slice of emo-tinged indie-pop; a perfect summer accompaniment allowing you to embrace your feelings wholeheartedly and enjoy a cathartic, shimmering sense of relief.

Listen to ‘Knowing You’ here:

 

With their new EP People² set for release this summer, Mothercanyouhearme pride themselves on being completely DIY and raising awareness to create a safe space for queer identifying women or allies within the music scene. The EP is self produced by guitarist Rosie, and all artwork has been done by drummer Georgia; and it all comes with an accompanying zine – wonderfully entitled ‘Maga Can You Zine Me’ – celebrating a number of female creatives, which you can find out more about here.

Track Of The Day: Maggie Gently – ‘Every Night’

In a cathartic unravelling of her desires, San Francisco’s Maggie Grabmeier is unapologetically candid in her debut single ‘Every Night’, released under her all-new project Maggie Gently.

With a pop-punk past, Maggie embarks on her current writing with a more delicate, indie-like lens that adds a sense of intimacy and simplicity to her emotional illustrations. What is compelling about ‘Every Night’ is its genre complexity exactly. The concoction of Maggie’s strong sense of melody is reminiscent of mid-west emo/punk and provides an undeniable anthemic feel that is nostalgically comforting and perfectly familiar.

Up against a compartmentalised indie mix, Maggie places her emotional story in a bedroom-pop habitat that allows the guitar’s transparent overdrive to sit just right and allows her lyrics the space they deserve: “I wanna learn how to be alone without feeling a panic in my bones…” sets the scene for her entire upcoming EP Good Cry that was written during a complex and reflective time for Maggie.

With the raw and relatable stream of consciousness that Maggie has hosted in ‘Every Night’, she has earnestly invited her listeners into her current universe of understanding inner turmoil and its request for a breakthrough. Maggie Gently is all of us at one time or another, a vulnerable and stunning work in progress.

‘Every Night’ is out now, listen on Spotify. And Maggie Gently’s debut EP Good Cry is set for release 29th May.
