Phoebe Green has delivered a preview from her new EP ‘The Container’, set for release on 21st March via The Green Dream Machine, with new single ‘Rage Of A Kid’.
The five-track EP was written and produced by Green in her Manchester flat and her parents’ house in Lytham St Annes, exploring themes of emotional connections, longing, obsession, and the balance between self-love and self-sacrifice.
“The reason I titled the EP ‘The Container’ is due to the physical feeling of trying to contain or suppress something,” Green explains. “I tried to contain some experiences I had in my teens and the uncomfortable feelings that stemmed from them, but the longer I kept them in the more they ate away at me until in my early twenties I became so unwell that I had to let them out.”
Speaking about ‘Rage Of A Kid’, Green says: “‘Rage Of A Kid’ follows the discomfort of growing into myself and healing from past trauma. I spent a long time suppressing anger and any other difficult emotion in order to keep my head above water, but looking back I feel as though I wasted valuable years of my life doing anything in my power to avoid being consumed by it. It got to the point where I found it almost impossible to access, and when I did it was directed towards myself, because I felt so guilty for experiencing an emotion I had perceived for so long as ‘violent’.”
The EP features previously released singles ‘What Are You Doing’ and ‘Precious Things’, with Green working alongside producer and mixer Ric Levy to complete the project.
