A
gig
held at St George's Bristol
on Friday 31st October. The event starts at 19:30.
With her second full length record, Opposite Day, due for release in October 2025, Natalie Holmes expands on the experimental approach she began in her debut self-produced venture, Vitamin Be. The new album shifts between alt-pop dreamy soundscapes and analog wormholes, to convey the dizzying emotional highs and lows of today's world. Inspired by artists like Caroline Polachek, Bon Iver, The Japanese House and Aurora, Opposite Day is a kaleidoscopic journey that delves into the spaces between love and loss, focusing less on what’s good or bad and more on the search for silver linings in an ever-shifting, chaotic landscape.
‘Fresh, adventurous, really assured' - Tom Robinson
‘Rushing towards that emphatic finale, it’s an inspired return from a songwriter we will enjoy watching develop over the coming months and years’ - Clash Magazine
'At the heart of this inventiveness is (..) Natalie’s engaging, expressive voice. This is actually a very good example of the singer-songwriter form in a highly contemporary incarnation.' - Fresh on the Net
