Little Grim

Following a successful string of single releases, South London indie-pop outfit Little Grim have returned with ‘Silence’, their unforgettable new track that fuses penetrating lyricism and psychedelic riffs with infectious, floor-filling beats. The band have been picking up momentum with notable radio play from BBC 6 Music, and have had ‘Silence’ featured as the ‘track of the day’ on BBC Introducing.

The song is accompanied by a powerful new video directed by David Ranson, which paints a dark but beautiful image of city life and personal struggle. It follows an intoxicating experience of a London teen fighting back against a cheating partner and predatory commuter aggression, making for an at times uneasy watch, but one with a particularly empowering message.

‘Silence’ is a hazy slice of smooth dream-pop about the pressures of modern life, Joe Murphy (lead singer) shares his thoughts: “We are proud to release this film, as we feel it encapsulates so much of the song’s meaning in a powerful way. It's an overwhelming strain when you're feeling attacked by constant pressure and the noises inside your own mind; it can make you feel like the loneliest person in the world, especially living in a city. To anyone who feels this way, you're not alone.”

Collaborating in the studio with producer Brett Cox (Jack Garratt, Tusks, Vök), the band have pushed their production into a surprising new territory that takes the nostalgic vintage swagger of their earlier records and laces it with electronic beats and relentless basslines.

Little Grim came together after singer Joe Murphy and guitarist Jeremy Barclay met in a secondary school jazz band, discovering a shared love for making quirky, off-the-wall indie tunes. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Husky Loops and Rat Boy, as well as regularly performing and promoting live music and club nights in South East London; they are ready to make their mark.
