Danica Bryant drops new EP 'Cider'

Danica Bryant has introduced a fresh pop-rock sound to the fiercely emotional lyrics which have defined Bryant’s work so far.

Cider is “the culmination of years of musical growth”, a body of work created throughout Danica Bryant’s high school years and finally shaped into an EP as she moved out of home.

Across its four tracks, it covers heavy themes from mental health, sexuality and the music industry, to addiction and toxic relationships.

The title represents growing up, but still feeling like a child. “Alcohol is very symbolic of adulthood, and so now, I’m allowed to drink… but I’m only drinking the fruity, super palatable stuff. It feels like a denial that I’ve grown up, but an acceptance, at the same time.”

Bryant’s writing has been well-received by many, making her a national Play It Strange winner, and a member of Bic Runga’s 2019 songwriting mentorship group. Her track ‘Dizzy’ took out the Smokefree Rockquest Best Lyrics Award in 2018, and appears in its studio form for the first time on Cider.

Produced by Tiny Triumph Recordings, and mastered by Munki Studios, Cider is out now.
