Stella Bridie

A cogent musician and creative across forms, Stella Bridie writes for the long walk home from the party where mind games dance. Balancing the catharsis of indie rock with etchings of pop-impulses – think boygenius crossed with Ethel Cain – she conceptualises disillusionment with gripping imagery. Her seemingly simplistic turn of phrase sung with visceral and affecting intent.

Cleverly forthright, Stella's latest single ‘Organ Donor’ continues her artistic stride of narrative lyricism. Finding light in the heartache, she reconciles with the desperate delirium of making anything work in relationships. Here, shared skin (literally) serves as a solution to the doom of solitary confinement, where loving so vulnerably feels like being flayed. On ‘Organ Donor’ the expectations and responsibilities of partners come under the microscope.

What if you had one moment left to tell your story? On her debut EP Speaking Terms, coming November 28, Stella excavates that impetus, facing fear with humour as she stoically addresses the inner and external uglies that hinder. Flagrantly frank - not be confused as begrudgingly - she digs deep to find the guts that transform one’s personhood. Potent and primal, her EP debut is set to establish Stella Bridie’s voice as a necessary addition to the indie landscape.
