Brighton alt-pop trio CIEL shimmer with the release of their new single ‘Pretty Face’

Brighton alt-pop trio CIEL shimmer with the release of their new single 'Pretty Face.' Thumping drums and sauntering guitar lines coalesce with Michelle Hindriks' mignon vocals but beneath the pluckiness rests a darker tale. CIEL contrast pop propulsion with the story of a man who lost his wife to a cult.

Hindriks gives insight to the track's harrowing lyrics: “I really got into watching documentaries about all sorts of cults during lockdown 2.0 - the psychology behind it really fascinates me. This one story really struck me, about this man that lost his wife to a cult, and now ten years later continuing life, knowing that she’s still somewhere out there - having to let go of her. Whereas most people probably can’t directly relate to something as extreme as losing someone to a cult, a lot more people can relate to the experience of choosing to care for themselves, even if that is a very tough decision"

'Pretty Face' is out now on all digital platforms.
