Track Of The Day 17/3 – Bess Atwell

Posted by

Bess Atwell is something special.

The English songwriter’s folk-textured indie pop has a quiet calm that is overwhelming, patching together gossamer melody with biting lyric.

New single ‘Co-op’ is out now, a beautiful pearl of a song that is ushered out into the world via Lucy Rose’s own label.

An artist with impeccable taste, Lucy’s trust is more than matched by this beatific, engrossing single.

‘Co-op’ comes straight from the heart, with Bess Atwell laying her message out in its rawest form in this new live performance clip.

Airing through Clash, it shows Bess at her most potent and intense, a stripped back performance that espouses sheer soul.

She comments: “Lyrically, ‘Co-op’ is my most stark and bold song and I wanted the way we performed it to reflect that. I’ve always hidden behind a guitar when I play live so going instrument-less was exciting and out of my comfort zone.”

Tune in now.

Bess Atwell will play Oslo, Hackney in London on May 26th.
