Bold, white cliffs adorn the coastline of South East England, its encompassing winds and ambient calm permeate Isobel Anderson’s new single Flint Shingle. The jagged rocks that scatter these beaches hold evocative memories for Isobel and with their sharp edges, a map of her self-discovery is carved into the chalky cliffs.

Flint Shingle is evidence of Isobel Anderson’s growing songwriting prowess, with a conscious effort to develop the production and instrumentation on the record. Isobel’s textured vocals conjures a haunting ambience, she explains, “It is sort of a love song, if only with a nostalgic, almost regretful, sentiment. The idea is that the landscape acts as a sort of sobering force, a marker of myself and what I am now.”

Despite returning to her birthplace of Sussex to write the album, Belfast is now home for Isobel, and the new record was recorded in Northern Ireland’s Millbank Studios. She has amassed over 17 million Spotify streams, as well as consistent radio play across the BBC network and The Guardian’s Music Podcast. Highly regarded for her mesmerising live shows, Isobel has put on thrilling performances at festivals up and down the country, including Glastonbury (Acoustic Stage) and The Secret Garden Party.

The first single from Isobel Anderson’s upcoming album, Flint Shingle is a symphony by the sea.

“The chalk is my skin, the flint is my bones. I came here to set me free.” Isobel Anderson
