Brighton alt pop outfit CIEL continue their impressive breakthrough year with new single ‘All My Life’.
SInce we first discovered the trio in February this year, they have released a well-acclaimed debut EP ‘Movements’, which generated widespread praise throughout the press landscape.
‘All My Life’ marks the next stage in the band’s development and finds a compelling balance between electronic synths and more conventional instrumentalization, with glazy guitar sounds and pensive pop vocals adding to its alluring anthemic tendencies.
CIEL’s thrilling potential has certainly been amplified in recent months and partnering up with the esteemed Iggy B (John Grant, Spiritualized, Ghostpoet) on production duties sees them transition into new, poppier territory.
Detailing their newest release, frontwoman Michelle Hindriks explained: “‘All My Life’ is a song about introversion. I have always been quite shy and a very introverted person.
“Although I love parties and hanging out with other people, I need a lot of time for myself and to be able to do things at my own pace too.
“The song is about finding your way into the world, which can be quite loud and fast-paced when you’re a more soft-spoken person. And realising that you can make a difference in a more subtle way, and stand in your power that way.”
