Following her recent collaborative work with Richard Russell’s Everything Is Recorded project, Laura Groves has announced the upcoming release of Yes, a new 4-track EP out the 1st of August, 2025 via Bella Union. Alongside the announcement she has shared lead track “Deep Blue”, a song that “encompasses themes of emotional intensity, passing through doors of perception and recollection; questions of trust and paranoia; knowing when to surrender and concede; tuning in to intuition like scanning through a radio.”

The accompanying video, which as a multi-disciplinary artist Laura Groves created herself, is a collage similar in style to her previous video work for 2023’s Radio Red album, made up of layered footage she shot and collected over the last few years.

Commenting on “Deep Blue” Laura Groves says:

‘Deep Blue’ is a song about asking somebody to be vulnerable and reveal more of their secret world, whilst also trying to embody those things myself. There is a directness to the hard kick drum and opening lines of the song – a confrontation and then an admission of deep feelings, stirred up like a deep blue body of water by the heavily modulated Juno 106 synthesiser. My close friends Joviale and Fabiana Palladino join me on backing vocals in the chorus.

Born in Bradford and based in London, Groves crafts textured, experimental songs that blend ambient synths, layered harmonies and storytelling. She also presents a long-running show on NTS Radio called ‘Desire Paths.”
