ELDR has released her new EP HÖLY STRANGER - listen now on all platforms.
After spending the last few months enticing us with her captivating new singles ‘Spinning Tops’ and ‘Friends’, emerging artist & award-winning composer ELDR has now delivered her highly-anticipated new EP ‘HÖLY STRANGER’, showcased by the atmospheric new offering 'Weak Potion’.
Following her critically-praised debut EP ‘Defender’ in 2019, which also received the PRS Women Make Music fund, ‘HÖLY STRANGER’ looks to continue the broad and ethereal guise she first introduced herself with. Channelling her raw and adventurous approach to production and songwriting, her newest collection looks to add the next vibrant chapter in her ever-growing catalogue, cementing her as one of the more exciting new names emerging right now.
Speaking about the new EP, she said, "HÖLY STRANGER is in many ways a spiritual record, dealing with love, grief, mental demons and the perils of devotion. The songs emerged from a period of darkness in my life where I found myself deeply in love with a coercive, religious fundamentalist, prone to psychotic rages who believed it was the end of the world. This record is about the fragility that each of us quietly carries, and the desire to rise above self-destructive tendencies. Fundamentally, it’s a call to realise your power and find your own truth."
Serving as the EP’s opening track, ‘Weak Potion’ perfectly illustrates the bold and mesmerising direction ELDR explores on this new release. With its dense and atmospheric textures dancing around her own otherworldly vocals throughout, she sets an incredibly vivid tone that matches the explorative ideals we have already heard from her in the lead up to this new collection.
