Girl Apocrypha

Girl Apocrypha is the strange yet alluring newcomer who is quickly gaining a reputation as the rising artist to look out for. Her genre-bending sound (often described as ‘grunge-pop’) has garnered significant attention, boasting BBC Radio 6 Music plays and features from Dork, Loud Women, Earmilk and more. Sonically, she stands at an altar before two families of musical influence. On one side sits bands like Interpol, My Chemical Romance and Nine Inch Nails, whilst on the other, pop acts the likes of Lady Gaga, Grimes and The Dare can be found. Girl Apocrypha’s music dances between these two worlds like a tipsy wedding guest, committed to bringing the room together. Her striking lyricism centres around whatever it is that she can’t keep to herself that day. It is often a scathing account of her many flaws and fears, and it is sometimes a tongue-in-cheek musing on an arbitrary scenario imagined whilst asleep or not paying attention to a mundane task. On the back of her highly-anticipated set at The Great Escape festival, Girl Apocrypha’s third single ‘Thank God!’ was recently released; a brooding indie track about losing a friendship that meant more than any kind of romantic love, and the obsession that follows.
