Broken Bones Matilda

verafter, the teenage romance song delivers a dreamesque sound featuring warm guitar
Earrangements, beautifully hazy vocals and cascading harmonies.

The duo Broken Bones Matilda are also about to embark on a two week virtual tour of UK brew-
eries, raising money for #saveourvenues. Virtually crossing the UK, one craft brewery every
evening, they will be flying the flag for independent businesses while simultaneously raising
spirits as they go. The tour will also include local artists performing live drawing sessions, as well
as surprises spicing up each show.

Broken Bones Matilda have garnered acclaim from the likes of American Songwriter, Earmilk
and The Line of Best Fit to name a few.

Broken Bones Matilda create an enigmatic hybrid of sound, influenced by 70s rock to the early
90s surge of raw, post grunge bands they grew up with. Hailing from Bath and now based in Lon-
don, the duo have been described as Nick Cave meets Fleetwood Mac, oozing raspy lead vocals
and soaring harmonies over well-crafted songs.

Their latest single “Everafter” is a teenage romance song. Narrating young love and the feelings of
insecurity and shyness you have when you like someone but don’t have the courage to ask them
out, the song reminds us of those distant highschool memories and the voices inside that shout,
“Hurry up or you’re gonna be too late!”

Taking an organic approach with their music, “Everafter” was recorded to tape at Peter Gabriel’s
Real World Studios. Produced by Scott Barnett, the track delivers a dreamesque sound featuring
warm guitar arrangements, beautifully hazy vocals and cascading harmonies. Emitting an almost
hypnotic effect and bleeding with sincerity and authenticity, the duo share, “Working to tape you
can get results sonically that you wouldn’t get digitally. It also brings an element of pressure to the
recording as you need to commit to things and you have the added pressure of limited takes.”

Having performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, Wilderness, CarFest N&S, Pub In
The Park and many more, as well as opening for the likes of Texas, Ward Thomas, KT Tunstall
and Alice Wallace, the duo have been garnering notoriety from fans and critics across the coun-
try.
