Louise and the Pins return with their gorgeously slow burning new single ‘Bell Jar’, released April 9th on Chess Club.Characterised by Wakefield born Louise Hull’s dusky jazz flecked vocals, and gloriously understated shuffling percussive backdrop. It’s a modern torch song and sure to see Louise and the Pins captivate new fans in the coming months. Watch it below now:
An ode penned by Louise Hull and produced by David Odlum. Conveying a heart-rending message about love, loss and the pain of experience, Louise re-imagines the torch song for a modern audience and admits that ‘Bell Jar’ is a “very personal” track. But there’s solace to be found; “Don’t be understood; keep your torch held high,” she sings of the light at the end of the tunnel.
Louise and the Pins have already made an imprint on the live scene, having played with the likes of Martha Wainwright and Laura Marling. Many touring plans are ahead of them this year including their first Headline London show on the April 4th at St Pancras Church. This single follows from their bluesy, Americana clad debut AA single ‘Melancholy/Beauty Strange’. Wakefield born Louise Hull describes her sound as rockabilly, with a strong torch singer element: “I want to bring people into my world…I want to hurt their hearts and I want to create music that makes people feel something; real music.”
