total tommy has shared her guitar-driven new single 'Amsterdam'

total tommy has released her new single 'Amsterdam', the final preview of their debut album 'bruises', which arrives on Friday via Play It Again Sam.

The track draws inspiration from experiences in its namesake city. "I wrote this song in London last year, and went straight from the airport to the studio after a massive night in Amsterdam," total tommy's Jess Holt explains.

"I almost missed the flight, and I was so scattered the entire session, but this song worked because we captured exactly what had happened the night before. I'd had a solo night in Amsterdam, got really high and walked around the city. I'd been alone for a few days at this point, and wasn't really looking after myself because I was going through a bit of a low time."

'bruises' was was written during a period of significant change for Holt, including a breakup, moving cities, coming out as queer, and meeting her now-wife.
