'Heavy and Ephemeral' is the new single from Brooke Bentham. Produced by Ben Baptie (Daughter, Adele, Lapsley), the beautifully, uplifting new cut, which is taken from a forthcoming EP and comes ahead of UK tour dates, is a signal of intent from the 21-year-old South Shields-born artist, who is currently studying at London's Goldsmith's. Inspired by the likes of The War On Drugs and Ryan Adams, there's a timeless, alternative indie-pop sound to her work; no wonder she has already secured a deal with Believe Recordings. Impressive stuff for an exciting new name in flourishing genre. -G.O'B
