Speaking about their upcoming EP, Close To The Flame, Bleach Lab said: “‘Close To The Flame’ explores the hardships of love from personal experiences. It’s about being stuck in relationships where you’re constantly pulled between love and pain. Whether it’s wanting to be everything to someone, holding onto someone that’s slipping away, or struggling with guilt and anxiety that make it hard to move forward. The EP captures the messy reality of trying to hold onto love, whilst dealing with self-doubt, regret and the fear of losing yourself in the process. Fighting for connection but feeling the weight of it all. This EP means so much to us, as it’s our first self-produced music we’ve released. Building it from the ground up and sharing our experiences with each other made the process much more personal. Speaking about their new single ‘Feel Something’, frontwoman Jenna Kyle said: “Feel something is about being locked in a slowly dying relationship, where you’re heavily dependent on another. They impact you negatively, but you’re trapped in the cycle” Also announced today are new UK tour dates for November 2025. Bleach Lab will be playing seven dates, including a headline show at Bush Hall, London. Full tour dates can be found below and tickets can be purchased HERE.
