Following the release of her highly-praised recent single ‘Dark Matter’ released earlier this Summer, Irish artist Sister Ghost is now continuing the support for her long-awaited debut album Beyond The Water with her anthemic new offering ‘I Bite Back’.
Fully embracing the bright and euphoric 90s pop-rock aesthetic she has grown into over the years, ‘I Bite Back’ marks one of her more lively efforts to date. Mixing a heady blend of soaring guitar hooks and her own mesmerising vocals throughout, she continues to shine as one of the more enthralling names doing the rounds right now.
Speaking about the new release, she said, “This song is about battling depression and anxiety (‘the Black Dog took hold of me’) in a world that wants us to give in and give up. It’s about putting in the self-work and understanding the value of your own emotional intelligence, as well as the realisation that people who have low emotional intelligence aren’t worth losing any sleep over. Pick yourself up with kindness and grace and always keep moving forward.
“Musically it’s mostly highlighting my love of the late 90s/ early 00s pop punk and rock diet I fed upon as a kid; Foo Fighters, Green Day, Avril Lavigne, Jimmy Eat World, Sum 41, Blink 182 etc. I also obviously adore playing guitar solos so this single from the album is a fun example of that. I Bite Back is served to you in an energy-boosting pop-punk casing from my spectral art-rock and gothic pop heart.”
