From learning piano at age six to teaching himself production during the 2020 pandemic, Kit’s musical journey has culminated in the release of his self-produced debut album, “The Cities We Build.”
“Housefire” is a heavy, shoegaze slow-burner exploring themes of disconnection and isolation through fire metaphors. Entirely produced by Kit, the track blends elements of shoegaze, lo-fi indie rock, emo, art pop, and emo, showcasing his diverse musical influences. Recorded both in his bedroom and the Huddersfield University studios, “Housefire” represents Kit’s dedication to his craft and his burgeoning career as a solo artist.

Harry Bray’s journey into music began with experimenting with sounds on his phone, a testament to his creative spirit and dedication to crafting unique music. “New Girl,” a track from his upcoming album, showcases his songwriting talent, blending interesting chord progressions with introspective lyrics.
The song tells the relatable story of encountering someone captivating in everyday life, leading to a whirlwind of thoughts and fantasies. However, the protagonist’s hesitation and inaction ultimately prevent him from pursuing this connection, leaving him with lingering regret.
Bray’s music, as he describes it, seamlessly blends traditional guitar arrangements with more experimental synth-heavy sounds, creating a diverse and engaging listening experience. His upcoming album promises to be his most ambitious work yet, and “New Girl” offers a tantalizing glimpse into the unique musical world he is creating.
