Sarah Meth gives bedroom pop a black eye in new single release "Bromance Is Dead / Sister You Said"

London-based singer-songwriter Sarah Meth has just released a double single on Slow Dance Recordings. 

Meth is the pinnacle of bedroom pop, not just in sound but in spirit. “Singing into my laptop mic… tucked up in bed" embodies the DIY ethos that underpins her work. But there’s more here than lo-fi charm. Her music is deceptively complex: candid yet elusive, vulnerable but rarely sentimental, moving with dry wit and melodic precision.

The first track, “Bromance Is Dead,” pulls listeners into her dreamy synth-pop universe. There’s a sense of melancholy wrapped in cotton candy, reminiscent of Gorillaz's Demon Days filtered through the soft-focus lens of Clairo. It’s a sound that feels androgynous, both emotionally and sonically, managing to be whimsical without being saccharine. Meth’s vocals glide just above the mix, giving the impression of eavesdropping on someone else's daydream.

Flip the single and “Sister You Said” reveals another layer, lullaby-esque in its delivery, but with a lyrical sting that cuts through the haze. “I was like a sister, you said / But it seems wrong to me to give your sister head,” Meth sings, deadpan and devastating. There’s a jilted playfulness to the delivery, a kind of emotional sleight of hand that’s unsettling in the best way. It’s that mix of naivety and knowingness that gives her work its strange magnetism.

Sarah Meth feels like Lana Del Rey's noir-pop alternative cousin, less grandiose but equally cinematic, swapping Americana for millennial malaise, and glamour for gum wrappers.
