Release Date 21st November 2025 Independent, Self-Produced Album Melds 70s Pop, Trip-Hop, and Progressive Rock in Hypnotic Exploration of Recovery and Resilience After over a decade of international touring and nearly three years since its recording, critically acclaimed Scottish born artist Bryony unveils her debut album 'Dripfeed' – a stunning 15-year musical distillation that transforms personal trespasses into transcendent art. The self-released,self-produced album represents a bold artistic statement from an artist who has already graced stages from Edinburgh to Canada and collaborated with global superstars.'Dripfeed' emerges as a genre-defying masterpiece that seamlessly weaves together influences spanning Radiohead's experimental textures, Cocteau Twins' ethereal atmospherics, and the hypnotic grooves of Massive Attack and Portishead. Bryony's distinctive approach incorporates live strings, chromatic harmonica, analog synths, and reverberating acoustic textures to create what she describes as "the liminal space between genres" – a dreamscape that recalls the romantic nostalgia of Fleetwood Mac filtered through the contemporary sensibilities of Weyes Blood and the experimental depth of Pink Floyd.The album's sonic palette draws from Bryony's extensive musical vocabulary, incorporating cross rhythms reminiscent of Tool's progressive complexity alongside the elegant simplicity of folk traditions. Her haunting female vocals navigate between the intimate vulnerability of Lana Del Rey's 'Norman Fucking Rockwell' era and the ethereal sophistication of artists like Air and Morcheeba, while maintaining a distinctly British sensibility that echoes through every track. "Spanning 15 years, 'Dripfeed' distills the experience of getting totally lost down the rabbit hole of my early twenties," Bryony explains. "In working on this album I have inadvertently taken back the reins of my life after assault and learned so much about so much. I'm lucky I had music to draw out most of the poison of some of the less than happy moments and I hope this music can do that for others too."This deeply personal journey manifests in music that builds with hypnotic intensity – moving from calm, acoustic textures through mid-tempo explorations to moments of profound emotional catharsis. The album functions as both protest song and love letter, ambient soundscape and rock anthem, always maintaining the elegant, emotive quality that has made Bryony a sought-after collaborator and performer.Bryony's credentials speak to her artistic versatility and industry recognition. She has appeared on the legendary 'Under The Apple Tree' sessions with 'Whispering' Bob Harris, and in 2025 alone, provided vocals for Ed Sheeran's tracks 'Azizam' and 'Sapphire' while opening Glastonbury Festival on the Pyramid Stage alongside the Citizens of the World choir. Her decade-plus of international touring has honed a live sound that captures the album's intricate arrangements while maintaining the raw emotional power that defines her artistry. The album's title track serves as both mission statement and healing anthem, embodying Bryony's philosophy of gradual, intentional transformation. Like the slow, steady process that gives the album its name, 'Dripfeed' reveals its depths through repeated listening, with each track offering new textural discoveries and emotional revelations. With its combination of vintage analog warmth and contemporary production sophistication, 'Dripfeed' positions Bryony as a significant new voice in the neo-folk and alternative musiclandscapes. The album stands as testament to the transformative power of art, offering listeners a chance to experience their own healing through Bryony's carefully crafted sonic journey.
