My teeth they grind for you

When we're stood tooth to tooth

I forget that I'm an animal

From a quiet corner in Wales, Rona Mac unleashes a stark, haunting ‘Weapon.’

As a tumultuous relationship comes to an end, brooding basslines soon turn to grimy synths and fuzzy kick drums, leaving Mac feeling ‘fucked up’ but providing a captivating mix of 90s grunge and lo-fi alt-pop.

Does anyone else think that synth melody sounds eerily like Bowie’s ‘Ashes to Ashes’? (That’s a huge compliment, by the way, I love that track (✿◠‿◠))

Mac never expected to go as pop as she did on the track, and was initially in denial about the whole ‘indie-pop’ genre till Weapon wormed its way out of me one rainy morning locked up in the caravan.’

As she explains via press release:

‘There’s no going back, is there? I woke up with the riffs in my head, and as always it was a chunk of emotion that needed to be unpicked from under my skin. The songs message is simple - love can be a weapon, and there comes a point when messy love loses its allure and all you want is something organic, simple and good (and not an oatcake). I produced this with a dear and heroic friend, Owain, at Studiowz, and we’re very excited to play it to your ears.’
