about

Sasha & The Shades present the 'Grin & Bare It'' EP, self-released on vinyl and digital formats by the South Londoners on March 26.

As the EP's title indicates, the five tracks here (with an extra bonus live track 'I Wanna Go Dancing' on the vinyl edition) see the band at their most emotionally revealing and resonant yet, discussing issues that have affected many during the past year – the fragility of human relationships, the tightrope of mental health, hope, despair and longing.

Lyrical content has always been important to the group, but having shed a member to become a five piece and made the decision to concentrate on a stripped down, raw acoustic aesthetic on 'Grin & Bare It', they're pushed even further to the fore, Where the band's two singers – Sasha Adamczewski and Eli Rose J Sanford - once used to take turns at fronting the outfit, now they operate in precisely, choreographed harmony, their contrasting styles adapting to each other and finding strength and power through their union. For this E.P the band also decided to work with new producer Sean Woodlock from Hackney Road Studios, which is where most of the material apart from bonus track was recorded.
