Brighton quartet KNIFE BRIDE unleash their self-released EP sorry about the plague.
Composed of Mollie Clack (lead vocals), Sean Windle (guitar, backing vocals), Sean Millsopp (drums, extra production), and Craig Glynn (bass, screams), KNIFE BRIDE are creating their own genre, “nu-gothika,” where vulnerability meets heaviness.
sorry about the plague is a collection of complex stories delivered through melodic breakdowns, distortion, and gothic intensity.
Focus track ‘lilies’ lies at the heart of the EP, a breathing moment that is reflective and revealing.
“lilies explores a complicated relationship with antidepressants – the trade-off between emotional numbness and an overwhelming darkness. It captures the feeling of being disconnected, as if you’re not fully present in your own life, while also knowing that without the medication, a deeper heaviness can take hold. The song sits in that tension, weighing what feels like two imperfect choices: facing your struggles alone or losing a sense of feeling altogether.

This single is particularly visceral and aims to paint a gory and gothic picture, with the question, “Am I beautiful now?” reflecting an ongoing search for inner worth, shaped by intrusive thoughts and self-doubt that never quite settle. The image of broken lilies symbolising moments of despair so intense it feels as though even medication can’t reach you.”
Throughout sorry about the plague, KNIFE BRIDE shape a cinematic dark world where darkness finds light in moments of vulnerability.
Upcoming live date:
Jun 06, Mystic Festival, Gdansk, PL
