Naarm artist SRU releases 'be ur girl' on 31 July, offering a dreamy but deeply unsettled exploration of reaching repeatedly for something that is clearly causing harm. Glitchy production, velvet vocals and distant harmonies create a romantic surface beneath which self-abandonment, dependence and the desire to be rescued are quietly moving the furniture.
The song forms part of SRU's forthcoming debut EP 'Raven of Exile', a project shaped by themes of belonging, exile and slowly returning to oneself. SRU's creative practice also incorporates mythology, photography and visual art, making the single feel like an entrance into a wider world rather than an isolated release. 'be ur girl' recognises that knowing something is unhealthy does not automatically produce the convenient ability to stop wanting it. Human beings remain disappointingly resistant to sensible software updates. Discover more alternative electronic news.
