Eaglemont – Hound Single Launch

Melbourne jangle rock project, Eaglemont, is the brainchild of Bridgitte Jessop, who’s back and baring all in her angsty new rumbler, ‘Hound’, due for release Friday 3 May. It’s been a year and a half since Eaglemont cut her teeth on Melbourne’s live scene with the release of her debut 7” ‘Mediocre at Best/Uppercut’, plus two sold-out shows at Melbourne’s Gasometer Hotel in 2018.

Eaglemont has crafted an insatiable brand of pop rock that delivers hooky guitar lines with emotionally intelligent and introspective lyricism. Eaglemont invites listeners into her corner of the world relating to audiences through stories of love, friendship and identity.

‘Hound’ reflects on mental health and the desire to protect your loved ones from your shortcomings. Brandishing a velvety tone with crashing drum beats, Jessop’s distinct vocals are reminiscent of an androgynous tone. Producer, James Seymour (Merpire, FEELDS), worked closely with Eaglemont on the single, backed by the powerhouse that is Eaglemont’s live band. With music and lyrics written by Eaglemont herself, the compelling lyrics remind us all to respect that everyone has their own race to run.

Now, an undeniable up and coming talent commanding attention, who magnetically draws you in with the relatability in her songwriting, and in her live sets, don’t miss your chance to see Eaglemont perform at her launch for ‘Hound’ at Melbourne’s Old Bar.
