"The emotional resonance of Elliott Smith colliding with the barbed vigour of Sleater-Kinney” - Gigwise

She Makes War, Bristol based doyenne of gloom-pop, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist, is set to release new single “Stargazing” on 11th November 2016 via The state51 Conspiracy, supported by 10 tour dates throughout the month.

Following singles “Drown Me Out” and “Cold Shoulder” / “Paper Thin”, which received radio support from BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq, Marc Riley (airplay plus a live session), Lauren Laverne & Tom Robinson and Radio X's John Kennedy, this beautiful song will be the final release from third solo album “Direction Of Travel”.

“I don’t believe anybody any more”, Laura states with clear-eyed vulnerability, at peace with the idea of choosing to stay alone and creatively focused after a year of misfires and misfortune, family health scares and shock bereavements. Stripped back acoustic guitar and layered strings set the scene for her sugar-sad vocals to gracefully accuse “You said we had time, you don’t know you lie”.

Heightening the drama, the show stealing, Bond-esque strings were arranged by Andrew Skeet (The Divine Comedy, Imogen Heap), recorded at The Levellers’ studio in Brighton by Matthew Twaites (Mystery Jets, Electric Soft Parade) and performed by Nicole Robson (Bat For Lashes, Rhodes) and Simon Goff (Hope and Social, And The Wiremen).

Album “Direction Of Travel” was produced by Laura and mixed by Dan Austin (Doves, Pixies), featuring special guest appearances from Tanya Donelly (Belly, Throwing Muses), Mark Chadwick (The Levellers) and Clive Deamer (Portishead, Radiohead). Listen in full at www.shemakeswar.com/direction-of-travel.

November's 10-date “Stargazing” tour runs the whole gamut of She Makes War’s acclaimed, arresting live performance, kicking off with four solo shows supporting The Wave Pictures, two unplugged acoustic previews at a tiny 10-seater cinema in Bristol and three “An Evening with She Makes War” special events in Birmingham, London and Bristol featuring solo and full band sets. The gigs round off an exciting year of touring (with The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Carina Round and Duke Special) and festival appearances, including slots at 2000 Trees, Are You Listening?, Beautiful Days, Dot To Dot, Handmade, Sounds From The Other City and Greenbelt.

A late addition to the album, Magnified; Lady of the Lake was one of those songs that almost wrote itself, and as soon as the idea came together the Kennedy/Birks co-writers knew that they had to get back into the studio to record it for the album. The piano melody and production ideas came first, with Jess writing this alone in her Dalston apartment, followed by Amy’s lyrics and vocal melody, which were written separately on a trip to Confolens.  Lady of the Lake tells of disconnect, difference of opinion and the demise of a relationship. Amy uses a mystical figure to portray how the male perceives the female in the relationship, who is also seen as a seductress and somewhat dismissive in character ’Tis all your fault, you chose to worship me...’Tis all your fault, you fell in love with me', although the lyrics have been written sympathetically towards the woman. Amy sides with the mystical creature; 'There’ll be some that will smile and those that will cry, but at least you can rest just knowing you tried'. The chorus 'Lady of the Lake, see how she cares for you...See how she’s there for you’ tells of torment; that although the man knows it’s over, he is still drawn to her qualities. The story is supported by the emotive expression in the music, and the delicate, almost hypnotic vocal counter melodies add to the unearthly and ethereal sound.
