LISTEN: GIHE on Soho Radio with Circe (24.07.23)

Tash and Kate were back on Soho Radio’s airwaves playing loads of new music from some of their favourite female, non-binary and LGBTQIA+ artists! Mari offered some of her “musical musings” too. Tash talked about their excitement for upcoming East London festival Field Day and Kate shared memories of the recent GIHE gig that Mari organised at The Shacklewell Arms, featuring STRAIGHT GIRL, ALT BLK ERA and The Dead Zoo. Artists featured on the eclectic playlist included Maria Uzor, Sweeping Promises, Um, Jennifer?, congratulations, Divide and Dissolve and Nora Kelly Band.

Kate also caught up with London-based dark-pop sensation Circe to talk about her new EP, Drawing Wings From The Light. Inspired by personal epiphanies, unfiltered heartbreaks, precious teenage secrets and cell-shaping theatrical experiences, the record is a passionate, rapturous collection of slickly produced tracks. Circe spoke about the context behind her new songs, the loyalty of her fans, having FEELINGS about EVERYTHING, and her upcoming headline show at The Windmill in Brixton on 21st September. Tickets are available now on DICE.

Track Of The Day: Sea Lemon – ‘Fortune Teller’

A dreamy reflection on the fast-blooming nature of feelings in the early stages of love, Seattle-based artist Natalie Lew aka Sea Lemon has shared her latest single ‘Fortune Teller’. Taken from her upcoming EP which is set for release in early 2022, the track is a gentle, melodic ode to embracing your vulnerability and pushing through fears of telling people how you feel.

Written and recorded by Sea Lemon and produced, mixed & mastered by Stefan Mac, ‘Fortune Teller’ was created remotely, and sonically inspired by an eclectic range of influences, including Sea Lemon’s favourites Alvvays, Chromatics, The Beach Boys and Rilo Kiley. The track is a buoyant exploration of how it feels to fall head-over-heels in love with someone so quickly, full of soft vocals and jangly guitar sounds.

“I’m not a fortune teller / I never predict the weather right / but the sun comes at last / I say I love you fast” Sea Lemon muses, over steady beats and shimmering synths, giving listeners the chance to share in the rush of emotions that precede time spent with a new romantic partner.
