Having picked up support for former singles such as Heavy & Ephemeral across Radio 1, 6Music and Radio X, not to mention stacking up over 2.8 Million streams on Spotify to date - Brooke’s latest tour announcement also comes with the promise of new music to be released very, very soon.
With her sights now set on the future and a forthcoming new release, Brooke will be hitting the road to Reading’s Oakford Social Club October 14.
Aged just twenty one, Brooke Bentham’s music nonetheless carries the weight of someone who’s lived a hundred lives already.
Loud & Quiet said: “We think Brooke Bentham might be the Angel (Olsen) of the North”
She was born and raised in Southshields (just outside Newcastle) before relocating to New Cross to study at Goldsmith’s (where she is in the final stages of her degree).
Already, her songwriting swells and plummets in ways which feel as inspired by the epic alt rock journeying of War On Drugs or Ryan Adams as the emotional vocal depths of Sharon Van Etten or Angel Olsen: all shot through with remarkably personal, direct lyricism which suggests a maturity and life ethic that’s wise beyond her years.
The Room Swayed may have been written in an admittedly challenging period, but the results suggest Brooke Bentham is now looking firmly towards a bright future.
Crack In The Road added: “Exquisite…a vocal that rivals pretty much anyone at this moment in time.”
