Leeds-based musician Amber Strawbridge announced her debut album as Bored at My Grandmas House, Show & Tell, due out June 7th via CLUE Records / EMI North. The title track is a charming indie pop track that Amber calls “quite a tongue-in-cheek song about me being the opposite of an open book and all the little specific things about me that I sometimes wish were different. Overall it’s about me being a guarded person and fearing the possibility of having to be vulnerable and realising that vulnerability is actually a beautiful thing and something i shouldn’t be so scared of.”
An enthralling album of soul-searching introspection that channels her ennui into an enduring & vivid set. having been instantly enamoured with her debut ep, ‘Sometimes I Forget You’re Human Too’, a few years back, we knew she was a talent to keep an eye on and, when the album was finished, we had to make sure we were fixing ourselves up with a dinked edition of the release.
‘Show & Tell’ sees the 22 year old songwriter continue the emotive & philosophical themes of the ep, pinned around connection; with yourself, with the world, with loved ones.
