Laura-Mary Carter Shares New Single 'June Gloom' Featuring Idles' Lee Kiernan

Laura-Mary Carter, metà del duo di Brighton Blood Red Shoes, svela il suo nuovo singolo 'June Gloom' con Lee Kiernan di IDLES, uscito il 6 agosto. La canzone è tratta dal debutto solista di Carter 'Bye Bye Jackie', previsto per il 26 settembre.

A striking departure from Blood Red Shoes' electric intensity, 'June Gloom' finds Carter exploring melancholy indie, British noir, and Americana territory.

"June Gloom is a bittersweet weather report that captures the weird timing of sadness – how it shows up just when things start to feel okay," explains Carter. "Blending dry humour with emotional honesty, it draws on SoCal's signature overcast season as a metaphor for that familiar inner fog. Featuring a guest lead from Lee Kiernan (IDLES), it's equal parts funeral planning and cosmic shrug."

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).

L'album esplora la bellezza e la fragilità dell'amore, canalizzando influenze da The Velvet Underground a The Ronettes e 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.

'June Gloom' is out August 6th. 'Bye Bye Jackie' follows September 26th.
