Indie-pop singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bryony Williams shares her new single, 'Trip Me Up' out everywhere on 29 February. 'Trip Me Up' is a heavenly slice of glistening, nostalgia-tinted indie-pop and is the lead single from her 10-track debut album that is set for a late-2024 release; Bryony's  first new music since her 2020 EP 'State I'm In'.

Originally inspired by the cult-classic film, The Virgin Suicides, Trip Me Up is a lyrical take on the romanticised heterosexual tropes found in those typical high school scenarios where the safety net of the prom party is met with the heartbreak happening on the football by the bleachers. I feel like Trip Me Up is a modern twist on all of that narrative and through a female lens which shows the frustrations and confusion that young love can encounter and endure, whilst simultaneously taking us on a journey of reclaiming a sense of self and power in this storyline.

Trip Me Up

For fans of Marika Hackman, Courtney Barnett and The Big Moon, Bryony's music blends elements of pop and indie music, with heavy doses of 90s rock influences. 

The premise of this song is about the mundane; the repetitiveness of living everyday in the same house, the same environment, the same neighbours you don't converse with, walking the dog, watching TV every evening, cooking dinner, going to work, repeat repeat repeat. 

The second verse hints at a glimmer of hope in both a cynical and comedic way. The lyrics are talking about the change in season when the sun decides to peak out for the first time in months (UK-weather, huh!) and everyone's attitude changes and seems programmed to flock to the local beer garden for a summer pint! The sun seems to wake everyone up and make everyone nice and jolly again, obviously, scientifically, that's true (thank you vitamin D!) But the summer attitude comes and goes again and back we are right at the beginning of the cycle of the mundane; the repetitiveness of living everyday in the same house, the same village, the same neighbours you don't converse with, walking the dog, watching TV in the evening, cooking dinner, going to work, repeat repeat repeat… You get the idea!

Inbetween Days

'Frequency' marks the debut single release from 19-year-old singer-songwriter Bryony Williams, who is currently based in the West Midlands, UK. Working closely with Rob Glover (Field Harmonics, epic45), the EP from which this debut single is taken was formed quickly over late Summer/early Autumn 2015, when Williams approached Glover with a handful of vocal and guitar sketches and the pair translated them into full studio productions. Citing artists such as PJ Harvey, Wolf Alice and Sonic Youth as key influences on these recordings, the debut EP 'Wanderlust' (out February 2016) takes in elements of Alt-Americana, Grunge and Slowcore, beautifully framing Williams' lyrics which touch upon themes of place, nature and her uncertainty of the modern world.
