Brighton trio CIEL have released their latest single “So Scared”, another glimpse of their upcoming EP Make It Better, which arrives on 7 July via Jazz Life.
In the meantime, the band is making its mark in the live circuit with Michelle Hindriks (vocals, bass), Jorge Bela Jimenez (guitar), and Tim Spencer (drums) at recognized festivals such as The Great, Escape, Green Man and Eurosonic as well as a headline show the The Lexington in London. Full dates are below.
Speaking of the latest single vocalist Hindriks explains: “’So Scared’ is about being scared to be vulnerable and open up yourself towards someone else. But at the same time it’s about actively wanting to change that part of yourself and working hard to be able to be vulnerable, as it’s an important part of making valuable connections with others. The song started out with just one cute sounding synth line with the vocal part over it and in the studio we kept adding layers of guitars to create a much bigger sound”.

CIEL’s Make It Better EP arrives on July 7 through Jazz Life. You can find them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
