It’s an immense scene to capture, the early hours of dawn when a bright new morning is waking, a fresh world is outside the window, peeping in through a crack in the curtains, but either due to anxiety, drink, regret or the realisation that a monumental Saturday night has ended, the new day is struck through with a doom. North Wales’ newest psychedelic grungers Sister Envy manage to take a snapshot of the picture perfectly, the harmonic sound of a Sunday sun up beautifully juxtaposed with begrudged vocals wallowing in an aching morn.
‘Mourning Sickness’ sees a mesmerising intro of chiming, murky but splendiferous guitar soundtrack singer Kameron Joliffe’s drawled vocals, all of which breaks away a minute or so in to allow for a renewal of delicate guitar strums, lolling drums and a whole new atmosphere of exquisite haze. Just to add in an extra layer of awe, the group have revealed they wrote the track when they were but 16 year old wunderkinds.
Having recently signed to North Wales label Yr Wyddfa Records, Snowdonia, Sister Envy’s debut single is produced by Owain Ginsberg (Hippies vs Ghosts) and Scott Marsden (Holy Coves). The quartet have a packed twelve months in store, with a string of single releases and live shows in the works – including a debut set at the 2024 Focus Wales showcase.
‘Mourning Sickness’ is out now to hear and purchase on Bandcamp and will be available to stream on all of the streaming services this coming Friday 23rd February. We’ve put the single for you to hear on Bandcamp right now below:
