South London's HUSSY offers up a dream-pop wonder with new single "Slayer"

05 October 2018, 14:30 | Written by Amelia Maher

HUSSY is the moniker of South London's finest new dream pop pioneer Sophie Nicole Ellison.

HUSSY is an artist who is wholly in control of her craft and creates every part of the music on her own. She's a multi-talented multi-instrumentalist who records and layers all the instrumentation in her home studio, and she's about to become your favourite new dream-pop artist.

With her newest single, "Slayer", her knack for layering fuzzy guitars to create bewitching soundscapes is put on full display. Her vocals have a spine-tingling, ghostlike quality that works its way into the interwoven layers of sound as she speaks openly of feeling lost in her own thoughts - a quality that we can all relate to in this fast-moving world.

Speaking on the the track, Ellison says “'Slayer' comes from a place of feeling stuck and willing for something better to come around, disappearing into your own head... I was feeling frustrated and in a stagnant place, not knowing how to move forward while still burning myself at both ends...”

"Slayer" comes as a double single alongside new song "Playtime" that you can also check out here. You can also catch her playing a headline show at London's DIY Space on 25 October.
