Coming Up Roses - Coming Up Roses

Coming Up Roses' eponymous 3rd EP is their first since the indie/alt rock band's relocation to London, UK. It tells a story of reconciling relationships and the inter-personal connections that we have with our friends and family around us.

Now consisting of original members from Singapore Emily Sera (vocals, bass) and Darius Oon (guitar) and the addition of UK members Charlie Wilson (guitar) and Caleb Blake (drums), the quartet's new EP is a representation of the shared experiences of adolescence - no matter where one has grown up.

On opening track 'Don't Let It Break Your Heart', lead singer Emily delivers a message to a loved one who is struggling with the trails and tribulations of life. She says: "Life is hard and sometimes people we love get overwhelmed by life or mental health issues. It was really heartbreaking seeing our loved ones change and struggle. We wanted to write a song to let them know that we see them for who they are and that their struggles doesn’t change our love for them."

Second single 'Back The Way We Came' is a song written much earlier which the band rediscovered during rehearsals with their 2 new members. Fittingly, the song carries a reconciliatory meaning - a reminder to the self of reassurance and self-forgiveness in the face of difficulty.

Sonically, this EP sees Coming Up Roses venturing into new waters, with the inclusion of the acoustic-folk track 'Silence' while the band's shoegaze influences fully culminate with closing track 'Why'.

The EP was recorded and produced by Joshua Rumble (BCNR, Florence Welch) and mixed by fellow Singaporean Caesar Edmunds (Beach House, Queens of the Stone Age).

While Coming Up Roses have been around for a while now, it seems that their flowers are just beginning to bloom as they take their first steps into London.
