Yen Strange Releases ‘Bleeding From My Purple Lips’

Liberation Records are today excited to share ‘Bleeding From My Purple Lips’, the latest single from Sydney-based artist Yen Strange. Following on from singles ‘Clueless in Suburbia’ and ‘Easy Way Out’, the latest single is accompanied by an alluring self-directed visualiser.

‘Bleeding From My Purple Lips’ is quintessentially Yen Strange – Brimming with grunge fuelled rhythms, reverbed guitar and bittersweet lyricism, Yen, alongside co-writer Joel Quartermain (Eskimo Joe, PNAU, Meg Mac, merci,mercy, G Flip), reflect in hindsight on a toxic relationship, crescendoing into an anthemic indie hit.

On the single, Yen details, ‘Stitches are in my mouth sometimes when I really like someone but they do things that are pretty bad for me. Something stops me from standing up for myself and walking away. I was feeling extremely insane over a situation with someone when I wrote this. Like I was not myself at all and I’d do anything for this person to give me attention’.

The vintage, camcorder style visualiser, directed and edited by Yen Strange, further highlights the single’s vulnerable and intimate depiction, mixing up close and personal footage with candid frames from film negatives.
