Baby Brave – “Spiralling”

Baby Brave hit the mark with “Spiralling”, a standout indie pop single from their debut album “Sugar to the Tongue”. Recorded at Musicbox Studios in Cardiff with producer Charlie Francis, the Wrexham band turns a period of personal heartbreak into an upbeat, cathartic release.

Written during a post-breakup rough patch, singer Emmi Manteau captures that exact feeling when your mind starts running away with you and it accepts the chaos of a bad moment while holding onto the fact that things will eventually clear up. Steve Nicholls plays guitar lines that chime out like wedding bells over a broken connection, grounded by a tight rhythm section from bassist Andrew Stokes and drummer Jason Williams, and the emotional weight of the recording session really comes through, reflecting a band completely aligned in turning raw grief into a moment of genuine relief.

With a video directed by Ben Jones that shifts from tight bedroom walls to an energetic stage set at FOCUS Wales, “Spiralling” marks the end of one life chapter and the start of something fresh. Following up on their lead track “Cherry Tomato”, the North Wales quartet shows a level of confidence and honesty that makes their music deeply engaging.

I am totally obsessed with this release, and if this is your first time hearing them, do yourself a favor and dive into their previous releases to catch up on their catalog. Baby Brave are operating at such a high level right now, and you definitely want them on your radar as they prepare to share more music.
