This six-song EP is so strong, deep and beautiful that it is truly worth postponing suicide for. Please give it a listen, twice a day for the rest of the year.
Here’s how the band describe themselves, “in earnest is fuelled by the songwriting of front-couple Sarah Holburn and Tom Eatherton in a bid to encourage conversation around mental health and other under-represented topics. Their sad indie noise is a dialogue from two perspectives featuring male and female vocals in turn. Hailing from Southend on Sea, UK, in earnest is made a trio by the inclusion of instrumentalist Toby Shaer. “
