Emily Breeze – Confessions of an Ageing Party Girl (Sugar Shack Records)
Release Date: 29th October 2020
I am still a little dumfounded as
to how Bristol’s Emily Breeze isn’t more of an icon yet but there’s still time
and while she’s putting out tracks like this the odds are good. ‘Confessions of
an Ageing Party Girl’ features Breeze’s typically deadpan spoken word delivery
over dark guitars and Lynchian atmospherics. With a sense of Jarvis Cocker and
the Human League meets the Long Blondes about it, this song really feels like
it could have been born on the streets of Sheffield. Nevertheless, the line “nothing
glitters when you’re gone” is dripping in sadness, regret and faded glamour but
there’s a defiance about this as well and that’s what gives it the spirit and
energy it needs. Gloriously dark, as always.
