Whip-smart, vituperative pop from the ‘poet laureate of glamorous wastrels’, Bristol’s acid-tongued empress of the tart one-liner Emily Breeze will release her new album RATS IN PARADISE on July 11th – a joy-ridden masterpiece of, danceable, laugh-out-loud synth-pop pathos, sparkling with brittle witticisms.
The title “RATS IN PARADISE” is from a song by one of my favourite bands, The Birthday Party,” says Emily. “I always loved that idea – imagine rats with top hats and canes, dancing in the gutter and having the time of their lives. Very suitable for my songs.
“The record feels camp, frothy and mildly ridiculous to me – sort of like a very English version of a Tex Avery cartoon.”
