‘Mechanical Bull’ is the first new music to be released since Etta Marcus’ acclaimed Heart-Shaped Bruise EP in January. The black and white visual, which features Etta Marcus riding a bucking bronco, was directed by the 22-year-old musician herself alongside co-director Oskar Brockbank.

Speaking about the track, Etta says, “Mechanical Bull is a sarcastic love letter to the never-ending nature of a monotonous lifestyle. I wanted to express my desires and fears around the rejection of conformity and the embarrassment that goes along with stepping outside expectations.” ‘Mechanical Bull’ was written with producer Josh Scarbrow, Etta’s co-writing partner and produced/mixed by Rodhaidh McDonald (The xx, Beck.)

‘Mechanical Bull’ gives a taste of what to expect from the music Etta Marcus has been creating while holed up in a secluded cabin in Whitstable. Sonically it represents another shift in direction for the singer-songwriter who continues to defy pigeon-holing, carving out an artistic identity all her own. Over the course of her first two EPs; last year’s self-released acclaimed debut EP, View From The Bridge and the recent Heart-Shaped Bruise.
