Theoretical Girl - Divided (2009)

Theoretical Girl makes electro-folk-pop on her 8-track in her bedroom and has been doing so since 2006.

She has released four singles, ‘It’s All Too Much’ (Fake Product),’Red Mist’ (Half Machine Records), ‘The Hypocrite’ and ‘Another Fight’ both on Salvia/XL Recordings to high critical acclaim. Also out is a limited edition 7” split covering a Tokyo Police Club song ‘Nursery, Academy’, available exclusively from Pure Groove.

Upcoming releases include a Japanese only release of ‘The Boy I Left Behind’ (an acoustic version that’s already had nearly half a million hits on youtube), a UK single release of ‘Rivals’ on 25th May and the album ‘Divided’ in August.

Having gigged tirelessly throughout Europe over the past three years, Theoretical Girl, armed either with just her guitar and backing tracks or backed by her band ‘The Equations’, has built up a formidable following, and an impressive list of bands she’s played with – Robyn, Maximo Park, Kate Nash, Lethal Bizzle, Calvin Harris, Good Shoes, Metric, amongst many others.

After years of independent EP releases, her debut Divided will be released on the 17th of August via Memphis Industries. The date is a little far way, but Amy Turnnidge just released her first single 'Rivals' in order to prepare you. And the song, as usual, is lovely, a frenetic ballad softly interpreted.
