Soeur announce new EP ‘Fight’

SOEUR have announced a new EP!

The upcoming EP, titled Fight, is the latest EP from the Bristol-based alternative trio and is scheduled to be released in November this year.

The EP was produced by Mat Sampson in Bristol’s Bink Bonk Studio and speaking about the EP, vocalist/guitarist Anya says, “the songs are all, in some sense, about post-traumatic growth. I think wherever there’s personal growth, there’s always some sort of fight involved. People often project the best of themselves (especially on social media), giving us all the illusion that nobody else is struggling, when in reality, we all endure our own battles every day. The title, for me, is both a reminder that we have the strength to fight those battles and an acknowledgement that the fight itself is a fundamental part of change.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new single from the upcoming record; the title-track Fight. Speaking about the track, vocalist/guitarist Tina (who shares guitar and frontperson duties with Anya) says, “following a conversation with an old friend, I was inspired to write about how he’d fallen in love with the idea of protecting his country but ultimately left the army despising what he was fighting for. Like many of our songs, it’s meaning transcends this particular situation.” Anya adds, “I think it’s easy to accept what we are taught, but it is only by questioning it that we truly learn. Whether it’s a war, an abusive relationship, a mental illness or a society-instilled stereotype, this song reminds us that we have the power not only to stop fuelling the cause but to actively fight against it.”
