Description
Over three studio albums and nearly a decade, Wirralborn Louisa Roach has built She Drew The Gun into a project that fully lives up to its incendiary name. Her 2016 debut Memories of Another Future was swiftly followed by a crowning as Glastonbury Festivals Emerging Talent Competition winner followup Revolution of Mind was named one of BBC 6 Musics Albums of the Year, while 2021s Behave Myself saw Clash praising the record as some of her most finessed and contoured songwriting to date. Having firmly carved out her niche of rousing, lasersharp social commentary, its a side to Roachs songwriting that will never leave her not in this political climate at least. But sometimes, life sends you to a place where you have to finally turn your eye on yourself, and its with this in mind that She Drew The Gun presents fourth album Howl, out via Submarine Cat Records.Recorded alongside producer Ash Workman Christine amp The Queens, Metronomy who helped bring the tracks pop side to life during sessions at his Margate studio, Louisa Roach also worked with her son Cole on Howls demos the beginning of a familial working relationship that theyve already shaken hands on to continue. Its a heartwarming note in an album story thats been far from plain sailing. Roach doesnt claim to be healed if such a thing exists, but as she prepares to release She Drew The Guns impressively vulnerable fourth, shes somewhere along the journey with a document that shows just how far shes come.
