Brightr Announce New EP ‘Two Sides’ And European Tour Dates

Brightr, also known as Laurie Cottingham, the UK’s long serving purveyor of gloomy emo-pop is returning with a brand new six track EP that will be released on April 5th through No Reason Records in Europe, Penultimate Records in Australia and Asia and Lockjaw Records in the UK. Two Sides is the follow up to 2016’s well-received debut album, Year One, and Brightr have chosen to work with Matt O’Grady again, following the success of their collaboration on the first album. Though sadder and more stripped back than its older sibling, the six tracks on offer here illustrate a cathartic purge for Brightr.
