## Key points

- Shygirl’s second album explores a more organic, indie-influenced sound.
- She describes the change as an evolution, not a reinvention.
- A live band will join her European tour starting in March.

## Summary

Shygirl has moved towards a more stripped-back, indie-influenced sound on her second album, *Swallow!*, while retaining the energy of her electronic roots. She says the shift lets her use natural instrumentation and write more authentically, and sees it as an evolution rather than a reinvention.

The 33-year-old singer and DJ, whose real name is Blane Muise, released the album on Friday, four years after her debut *Nymph*. Its songs include guitar, heartfelt writing and punk-tinged sounds; the artwork depicts a bird hatching as a symbol of rebirth. Shygirl will tour Europe from March with a live band, and says other British electronic artists are also drawing on indie and rock influences.
