(21st February) Today, Manchester's Phoebe Green releases new single 'Rage Of A Kid' - the final taste of new five-track EP 'The Container' out 21st March via The Green Dream Machine. Phoebe will launch the EP with a run of headline dates this April, with stops in Leeds, Bristol, Manchester, Brighton and London.
Marking a significant evolution in her artistry, new EP 'The Container' was written and produced by Phoebe within the intimate settings of her flat in Manchester and her parents' house in the coastal town of Lytham St Annes, lyrically delving into the complexities of intense emotional connections, exploring themes of longing, obsession, and the delicate balance between self-love and self-sacrifice.
'Rage Of A Kid,' the opening track on 'The Container', is a powerful, electronically-tinged ballad about healing from past trauma. Sparse soundscapes evoke loneliness as the lyrics explore suppressed emotions - particularly anger. The song builds to a cathartic release with lush synths and atmospheric textures, culminating in Phoebe's visceral message: "Kicking and crying and taking a bite" - reclaiming the right to feel.
Speaking more on the inspiration behind new song 'Rage Of A Kid', Phoebe said:
"‘Rage Of A Kid’ follows the discomfort of growing into myself and healing from past trauma. I spent a long time suppressing anger and any other difficult emotion in order to keep my head above water, but looking back I feel as though I wasted valuable years of my life doing anything in my power to avoid being consumed by it. It got to the point where I found it almost impossible to access, and when I did it was directed towards myself, because I felt so guilty for experiencing an emotion I had perceived for so long as “violent”. I learned eventually that anger is healthy and necessary and it serves a purpose when trying to process negative experiences, and especially in our current political climate, anger towards injustice is vital."
Phoebe Green's music has always been marked by raw honesty and captivating sonic landscapes, yet with new EP 'The Container' she delves even deeper, presenting the most genuine expression of herself to date.
On the meaning behind the EP's title, Phoebe shared:
"The reason I titled the EP ‘The Container’ is due to the physical feeling of trying to contain or suppress something. I tried to contain some experiences I had in my teens and the uncomfortable feelings that stemmed from them, but the longer I kept them in the more they ate away at me until in my early twenties I became so unwell that I had to let them out. I used to get so frustrated with the feeling of being misunderstood, and I couldn’t understand why nobody reacted to things in the way that I did, so as I grew up I began containing those outbursts. I feel closer to that childlike feeling now in my mid twenties than I ever have."
Working with producer & mixer Ric Levy upon finalising the EP, the project presents a dynamic range of sounds, from intimate ballads to anthemic choruses, as Phoebe notes:
"I’d been listening to a lot of Imogen Heap, St Vincent, Caroline Rose and obviously Charli XCX and Chappell Roan, though I don’t feel as though I’ve intentionally drawn much influence from anywhere in particular. I think I’ve subconsciously shied away from writing big pop choruses in the past, but I really loved experimenting with this on this new EP. I’ve really tried to marry the sounds with the lyrics and allowed the vulnerability to be a focal point, I mean what I say and if one day I don’t feel the same, then I’ll try not to be embarrassed that I once said something with conviction because at the end of the day I believe in something entirely until I don’t."
New EP 'The Container' will feature the previously released singles 'What Are You Doing' and 'Precious Things', both attracting consistent daytime airplay from BBC 6 Music (Nemone, Amy Lamé, Craig Charles, Tom and Deb), glowing press support from key tastemakers including The Line of Best Fit, CLASH Magazine, Dork Magazine, DIY Magazine, 1883 Magazine, Far Out Magazine, Popjustice, Rough Trade and covering Spotify's Fresh Finds UK playlist and YouTube Music's young x dazed playlist.
Phoebe Green's new EP 'The Container' is out 21st March. Phoebe will embark on a headline tour of the UK in April, tickets on sale here. New single 'Rage Of A Kid' is out now.
