Personal Trainer have shared ‘Star Jelly’, the first single to be taken from debut EP ‘What Was There Before?’.
The trio formed over a shared love of Alanis Morissette back in 2017 and her influence shines through in both the gorgeous guitar tones and raw lyrics: ‘Pull my hair, fuck me on a second date. I only stick around for chances to repeat my mistakes’. There’s also a touch of The Sundays in the yearning yet brutal atmospherics: ‘You’ll feel small when you reach the bottom of your world’. Although the song has a swaying, almost folky sound at times – complete with grand harmonies – there are moments of gentle experimentalism and escapism throughout that you will instantly fall in love with.
