Elanor Moss’ latest single, ‘Catholic’, has just dropped.
‘Catholic’ is the third single from Elanor’s upcoming EP, ‘Cosmic’, which is set to release on 3rd February. It follows ‘Sorry Song’ and ‘Cosmic Memory’, all of which will form Elanor’s second official release. The track was co-written by The Howl & The Hum’s Sam Griffiths, and marks a more ambitious turn for the Yorkshire-based songwriter.
On the track, Elanor explained: “’Catholic’ isn’t truly a song about being Catholic, or leaving the Catholic church… not really. It’s a song about grappling with your identity and realising you’ve relied on validation from others most of your life, whether that’s friends, family, or romantic partners. It’s also about realising you have the power to change and doing that.”
“It’s cathartic to play and sing live, and I felt like I was tapping into something new in my writing. We tried recording it a bunch of different ways; acoustically, more lounge-y, slower… it didn’t feel right until it was big and loud. It was an interesting moment for me in my writing and sound. I wanted to be loud for once and see what it was like to be in an indie-rock band. I love it.”
