On the back of her recent Taite Music Prize win, Vera Ellen has dropped a brand new six-song EP heartbreak for jetlag – out now on streaming platforms via Flying Nun Records. Completely self-recorded, mixed and mastered in her bedroom, this vulnerable new collection of works is sure to break your heart.

“For my own sanity I needed to make work like I used to, hunched over my laptop with the sticky keys, sock over a mic, concocted in my bedroom at my most vulnerable, touched by no hands but my own from start to finish.

None of these songs I planned to share beyond a couple of close people. But each got me through some heavy feelings and out the other side. May they be a comfort in your lowest moments, which to me makes it worth going through mine.” – Vera Ellen
