Tracks10
Bitter Ruin formed in Brighton, UK, in 2007, and quickly built a reputation for their emotionally charged sound, theatrical delivery, and genre-defying songwriting. Known for fusing folk, indie, rock, and classical elements with provocative lyrics and bold vocal work, their music is as hard to pin down as it is to forget. The duo — Ben Richards and Georgia Train — earned critical and fan acclaim for their 2014 album Waves, celebrated for its intricate compositions and unapologetic vocal acrobatics. Their catalogue reflects years of detailed craftsmanship and a refusal to follow trends, favouring fearless originality over casual cool. After a run of international tours, the pair took a sudden, unexplained hiatus. Now, ten years on, Bitter Ruin return with Arches & Enemies — a powerful and personal album that marks their evolution as artists and reignites the fire for long-time fans while inviting in a new generation of listeners.
