Episode 5: Jenna Kyle & Josh Longman of Bleach Lab

Summary: <p><br></p><p>This week I’m super stoked to welcome one of my favourite bands that I’ve discovered in the last few years. This South-London based, Buckinghamshire-formed quartet specialise in the spaces in between, letting their soundscapes slip through the cracks, living and breathing amongst us inside our eardrums. They find solace in the shoegaze of cult artists like Mazzy Star and the Cocteau Twins, and find themselves at home in the heart-on-sleeve honesty and rawness of Julia Jacklin and Wolf Alice. They’ve only got a hand full of songs to their names, but through their own experiences of grief they bring us their debut EP - the thought-provokingly beautiful <strong>A Calm Sense Of Surrounding</strong>. Across it’s five tracks they explore the five stages of grief, curating an introspective experience unlike any other. They are known as Bleach Lab, and I was fortunate enough to spend a virtual evening in the company of vocalist <strong>Jenna Kyle </strong>and bassist <strong>Josh Longman</strong>, diving in deep on their experiences and influences.</p><br><p>There’s something so endearing about Bleach Lab, and the EP truly is something special. If you’re listening to this around the time it drops, then the EP comes out on the 19th March, so definitely go and check it out and give them some support. Before we get into the good stuff, I’d just like to thank Jenna, Josh and Bleach Lab for their time, and Paddy at Stay Loose for setting it up. Enjoy!</p><br><p><br></p><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> See <a style="color:grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
