Laura-Mary Carter Shares New Single 'Four Letter Words' + Support Tour with Natalie Bergman

Laura-Mary Carter, la metà del duo alt-rock di Brighton Blood Red Shoes, torna con il suo nuovo singolo e video musicale 'Four Letter Words', uscito il 17 settembre. La canzone è tratta dal debutto solista di Carter 'Bye Bye Jackie', previsto per il 26 settembre.

Scattato in un negozio agricolo nel Galles occidentale, il video 'Four Letter Words' mostra Laura-Mary in attesa di qualcuno che non mostra mai e trasforma il negozio vuoto nella sua scena privata. La visuale cattura perfettamente i temi della canzone di delusione e di auto-liberazione.

"'Four Letter Words' is my favourite track on the album," explains Carter. "It's got this French retro feel with a touch of British monotone, and I had so much fun layering synths and Farfisa keys. The song is about that person who drives you round the bend you go back and forth endlessly, hoping for resolution or accountability. But with time you realise you don't actually need it. It doesn't matter anymore, and that in itself is freeing."

Following the success of previous single 'June Gloom' featuring Lee Kiernan from IDLES – which received coverage from The Line of Best Fit, Dork Magazine, and DIY Mag, plus radio play on John Kennedy's Xposure on Radio X and Selector Radio UK – Carter continues to showcase her compelling departure from Blood Red Shoes' electric intensity into melancholy indie, British noir, and Americana territory.

Carter will support Natalie Bergman (Wild Belle, Third Man Records) on three UK dates this September:

September 23 - Strange Brew, Bristol
September 24 - YES, Manchester
September 25 - Union Chapel, London

Carter ha trascorso due decenni in tour mondiale come parte di Blood Red Shoes, rilasciando sei album acclamati e guadagnando copertura da Pitchfork, DIY Magazine, Dork e NME. "Bye Bye Jackie" segna una direzione più intima, scritta sulla chitarra spagnola e registrata in Hackney con i produttori Oscar Robertson (sholto) e David Bardon (osselli da sole per guance).

The album explores love's beauty and fragility, channeling influences from The Velvet Underground to The Ronettes and Beck. Born to Irish parents in Greater London's suburbs, Carter's lifelong sense of being an outsider shapes the record's themes of connection and belonging.

'Four Letter Words' is out September 17th. 'Bye Bye Jackie' follows September 26th.
