Scottish singer/songwriter Theo Bleak has shared her second single of the year. Written and produced with bandmate Mark Johnston and collaborator Dan Gautreau (Ben Howard and Paulo Nutini), “In My House” is “an examination of the feelings that bubble up once you’re left to your own devices within your own space.”

Bleak says:

‘In My House’ is a lighter song about how much I love being alone. I felt so uncomfortable in January of this year, I just had a bad feeling. A really important friendship had broken down and I knew it was close to the end. I went into the studio and thought about escapism, the safety of my romanticized perception of life. Somewhere that their disdain of me couldn’t reach. I love astrology and thought about all the traits of being an Aquarius, and leaned into the solitary aspect. ‘In My House’ is about the person I actually am, shielded from even the worst interpretations of my personality.

Bleak’s most recent previous work is a collaboration with Glasgow band The Twilight Sad on “Don’t Borrow Grief from Later” and an EP of demos titled Heaven.wav.

Bleak began the year supporting Etta Marcus and The Snuts before touring the UK with Been Stellar. This summer, Bleak appeared at Scottish music festivals Belladrum Festival and Lughnasadh Festival to preview new music. She is an active participant Dundee, Scotland’s burgeoning music scene.
