Bonnie Kemplay announces her debut EP; shares new single ‘Static’

Edinburgh-based rising star Bonnie Kemplay today shares her new single ‘Static’ and announces her forthcoming debut EP running out of things to say, running out of things to do, set for release this Autumn on November 14. The EP is Bonnie’s first full length project since she signed to the world renowned Dirty Hit (The 1975, Beabadoobee, Wolf Alice) and follows her impressive introduction to the UK live scene, opening for Bleachers at their O2 Shepherds Bush Empire shows last week, as well as supporting Adele for her BST Hyde Park shows earlier this summer.

Delicate and vivid, Bonnie’s debut EP is an introspective 6-track collection chronicled over a three year period during the young artist’s most formative years. Her diary-esque approach to songwriting and intimate use of guitar production is what makes her music so universally relatable; stark in places but always with emotional depth, each track serves as a personal record of her life experiences. Combined with her eccentric ear for alt-pop melodies and hummable yet vulnerable lyrics, it’s an impressive debut showcase from one of indie’s brightest young stars.

Today’s track ‘Static’ tenderly reflects on an arm injury Bonnie’s obtained that prevented her from playing her guitar, she explains: “static is about my experience with a repetitive strain injury in my arms which put me out of playing guitar for 18 months. At the time I felt hopeless and uncertain of when or if I’d recover.”
