Matilda Bond Share New EP ‘Home For 24 Hours’

Brighton’s Matilda Bond return with new EP ‘Home For 24 Hours’.

The collective call the South Coast city home, a base for their musical endeavours. Tapping into Brighton’s free-thinking independence, Matilda Bond fuse standard songwriting tropes with free-flowing jazz aspects.

Recent singles ‘Charm’ and ‘Meanwhile’ meditate upon this approach, matching gossamer vocals against a real rhythmic elasticity. Out now, Matilda Bond’s EP ‘Home For 24 Hours’ offers the group a broader canvas to work with, and the result contains more than a few surprises.

‘Meet Me In The Middle’ is a coy alt-pop song, while ‘I’ll Wait’ shows the collective at their most affecting. Matilda explains…

“This EP is an invitation into my ‘Home For 24 Hours’. So many of the emotions I have experienced over the last year have been condensed into these 21 minutes. ‘Home For 24 Hours’ depicts loss, love, hopelessness, desire, worry and warmth. Every song has been a means to reach out to loved ones (my friends, my family, my partner, music or myself) with words that aren’t always easy to say. The old family photographs that have translated into cover arts make this EP all the more close to home for me.

Stepping into any person’s ‘Home For 24 Hours’ would give you a huge insight into their current state, their wants, worries or woes and I wanted to explore that notion throughout this EP. How does it look to live in my ‘Home For 24 Hours’? It doesn’t always make for the most cohesive experience, this emotional roller coaster that we have created, but it feels like a true expression of my recent self.”

Tune in now.
