Following the release, Atwell spent the year gigging, including several sold out headline shows with Live Nation, and returning to festival favourites such as The Great Escape and Green Man.

Two years later the former solo project has evolved into a full band sound soaked in four part vocal harmony fulfilling Atwell’s desire to create a more dynamic live show, with traces of more traditional folk music. Atwell and co took the best part of a year out to work on new material in their hometown of Brighton. The time off allowed the songwriter to develop a more refined, assured sound by falling back in love with folk music, and learning how to incorporate it with newer indie rock influences. Taking inspiration from the likes of The National, Fleet Foxes and Sharon Van Etten to name just a few, the new music is a conversation with oneself about the idealism of love and womanhood.

In conjunction with their return to the stage, the band have released two new singles. On its release 'Swimming Pool' was added to Spotify’s worldwide New Music Friday and Fresh Folk playlists, as well as being playlisted by BBC Radio 6 Music. These were victories for Atwell after her time off. Discussing the single, the songwriter said “it addresses the fear you have as a woman of perpetuating the ‘damsel in distress’ stereotype, even when there’s a little bit of truth in it - it’s an inner conflict I guess”.

Having recorded an EP at Soup Studios with producer Giles Barrett (John Grant, Johnny Flynn, Marika Hackman, Goat Girl), 'Swimming Pool' and 'Grace' are just the first taste of what to expect from the band.

Before the year's out Atwell will join Madeline Kenney on part of the UK leg of her tour, and the beginning of the new year will be met with a headline show at the beautiful St Pancras Old Church.
