Poppy teases EP after debuting new single at Reading & Leeds

Following last year’s excellent 4/5-rated album Flux, Poppy has confirmed that a brand-new EP will arrive next month.

After debuting new single F.Y.B. (which, as you can hear from the lyrics, stands for Fuck You Back) live at Reading & Leeds last weekend, the Kerrang! Award-winning musician told Daniel P. Carter in a new interview that she’ll be dropping an EP “in a month or so”.

When asked about her “creative juices” over the past couple of years, Poppy enthused: “Pretty wonderful, actually. I wrote a new EP that’s coming out, I don’t know the date but I think in a month or so, and I’m playing a new song today at Reading.”

Of what else she’s been up to in this time, she revealed, “I’ve been making a lot of music; I learned how to ride a motorcycle; I took courses online in criminal justice; and I’ve been spending a lot of time with my cat; and painting.”

In a recent interview with NME, Poppy confirmed that this new EP – which was written last December – will consist of four songs, and is entitled Stagger. Stay tuned for more news when we have it.
