Based around themes of longing, superstition and blurred friendship, Scottish artist Theo Bleak’s ‘Said Like a Poet’ falls somewhere between Arab Strap, The Twilight Sad and Nina Nastasia. Gothic alt-folk with a twist and raw, poetic lyrics – plus a powerhouse vocal performance that can’t fail to get under your skin – it’s darkly dreamy and features on Theo’s new EP ‘Bad Luck is Two Yellow Flowers’, which is out now.
