More Info

As we’ve heard from the singles ‘Cry At The Moon’, ‘Picasso’, ‘Daisies’ and ‘Always Like This’, the album achieves a rare blend of qualities. On ‘The Panic Years’, Bradley’s new songs take in touches of indie-rock, Americana, ‘80s synth and psychedelia but they also sparkle with pop addictiveness. Just as importantly, the songs go far deeper into his personal experiences: life, love, lust and learning - a diaristic collection of rite-of-passage moments that fans will instantly connect to.

Bradley says, “I hope these songs and stories can help them navigate those experiences. They can become the soundtrack to their lives, whether they’re dancing, crying, going out or whatever it is. It really feels like an opportunity to let them into a side of my life that I haven’t shared before.”

Despite possessing the inspiration of an artist who is just starting out, the record’s consistent accomplishment means that there’s no mistaking Bradley for a brand new artist on this record. The album’s new single ‘Holy Grail’ demonstrates his maturity, both in the songwriting and his assured vocal delivery. Sonically, it sounds timeless, a slowburner that evolves from quiet intimacy into a richer tapestry of sound. Lyrically, it celebrates the future he has with a loved one, and how he can’t wait to go through the good times and the bad, as long as it’s with them.
