The news of their signing coincides with the release of their debut single, "Original Sin" / "Mother".

Announcing their signing to Broadside Hacks Recordings & Slow Dance Records (Sarah Meth, Saint Jude, PVA), Brighton newcomers The New Eves share two track debut release "Original Sin" / "Mother".

"Mother" was debuted on this year’s esteemed Slow Dance Compilation.

“The band is fighting a biblical battle between shame and pleasure, body and mind, good and evil. The lyrics are poetic and unapologetic: “Throw away my fading halo and start dancing” is the type of line that’s calling to be written on the bedroom wall of teenagers up and down the country. This is the song Eve would have written if she had an electric guitar," say the band of their release.

Dreamed up in 2021 by Kate Mager (bass), Ella Russell (drums, flute, vocals), Nina Winder-Lind (cello, guitar, vocals) Violet Farrer (violin, guitar, vocals) while lying together in bed, the quartet hosted their first jam sessions in a studio under a railway in the middle of car wash.

With members who are themselves established painters, dancers, writers and photographers from across Brighton’s sprawling underground, the band pride themselves on a dedicated DIY aesthetic, designing all their own artwork, directing their own music videos and co-producing all their own material, alongside Lau Ro of Wax Machine.

"Original Sin" / "Mother" is out now via Broadside Hacks Recordings & Slow Dance Records.
