“Sometimes writing songs is like painstakingly sculpting sounds from thin air; other times they arrive in a whoosh, fighting to be heard. ‘Seventeen’ appeared on a summer Saturday evening, falling out of me in jagged swathes. Facing up to our ghosts isn’t a pleasant experience, but this song helped me over a major stumbling block from my past, bringing me a fresh perspective and a new freedom.”
Penfriend’s new/debut album is out on 21st May, you can follow everything she’s up to on her website, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and podcast.
