Listen to an extract from Hold Your Own, written and read by Kate Tempest.

New poetry from a fiercely talented, Ted Hughes Award-winning poet.

Kate Tempest's first full-length collection for Picador is an ambitious, multi-voiced work based around the mythical figure of Tiresias. This four-part work follows him through his transformations from child, man and woman to blind prophet; through this structure, Tempest holds up a mirror to contemporary life in a direct and provocative way rarely associated with poetry. A vastly popular and accomplished performance poet, Tempest commands a huge and dedicated following on the performance and rap circuit. Brand New Ancients, also available from Picador, won the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry and has played to packed concert halls on both sides of the Atlantic.

Hold Your Own - Kate Tempest

Pontias, Convergence System - Go Bro

This song is about the raw empowerment I've forged in solitude. A mantra to a survivor, a prayer to a deep sense of self we can sometimes only find through solitude.


Lyrics:

What is there to feel
When I’ve felt it all before
This life of sex and people
Leaves me numb and raw
I’m tired of running
I’m tired of sticking it out
I don’t know if I’m open
Or just a little proud

Lonely wolf club
Only member
Only job now
Is howl, howl, howl, howl

Do I need someone to lean on
I’ve done it alone till now
The thing I really crave
Is just the hanging out
I see so much potential
in every man I’m with
But I cannot see a future
With one for life

Lonely wolf club
Only member
Only job now
Is howl, howl, howl, howl

Lonely wolf club
Only member
Only job now
Is howl, howl, howl, howl

I'm alright alone
I'm alright alone
I'm alright alone
I'm alright alone

Pontias- Icelandic EP (inc. Kellerkind and Malbetrieb remixes)

PREMIERE: Pontias - Icelandic (Original Mix) [Récits de Mars]

London based indie/art pop band led by Becca Lovelace. 
Two new singles followed by an 11 track album (will be available on pre-order in vinyl) to come in October and onwards.

"She is exactly our kind of girl. This album is excellent, I thoroughly recommend it... If you like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and all that kind of DIY, slightly jazz hands but also a little bit punk, it is for you. You must check the record out, really love that one" Lauren Laverne, BBC Radio 6 Music
