Circe releases the Drawing Wings From The Light EP

A string of singles have been released ahead of the EP including "Going Down", "Mess With Your Head", and "Glow". The final focus track landing today is "My Boy Aphrodite".

Noting how the song inspired by Björk's "Venus As A Boy", and exploring "gender and queer identity", Circe says: "My Boy Aphrodite is a sonic novella about meeting my best friend who changed my life when I was a 14. I found someone else in a nowhere-town (we grew up in a very small minded place) who was also not only obsessed with movies, but determined to live in one."

"He would wear my dresses and I’d wear his suits, and even though the small town was pretty unwelcoming of our dress-up choices, we genuinely didn’t give a shit because we had each other to pile on the glitter and pretend to be goddesses together (nothing much has changed for me since)," she explains.

Circe worked to co-produce the EP with Steven Ansell of Blood Red Shoes and former Years & Years artist Emre Turkmen. Often making the connection between the sonic and visual forms of art and culture – a trait which has seen her track "Ten Girls" appear in Netflix's Elite – Circe also takes cues from the cinematic sounds of Labrinth’s soundtrack for HBO’s Euphoria.

She will embark on her largest headline show to date at at London’s iconic Brixton venue, The Windmill, on 21 September.
