Isobel Waller-Bridge reveals details of new solo album, Objects
Isobel Waller-Bridge, composer, musician, and sister of Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge, has returned with the announcement of her forthcoming album, Objects, alongside the release of new track, "Hoover".
Speaking about the track, Waller-Bridge says: “‘Hoover’ is an invitation to listen slowly — to find beauty in what hums beneath the surface of the everyday. As with all the music on this record, I wanted to take something ordinary and let it breathe, to let its rhythm become something tender and meditative. With piano, cello and organ weaving through the sound, this is a quiet ode to patience, presence, and the idea that poetry often lives where we least expect it.”
Where her 2022 album VIII articulated a tormented mind’s undoing, Objects is an act of radical stillness. It confers beauty on things the pace of our lives has taught us to ignore, inviting us to listen not as an objective experience, but as a personal and mysterious response to the world.
“These pieces are simple, strange, and lovingly handmade – oddities that feel to me like small miracles,” Waller-Bridge shares. “They reflect how I move through the world: with curiosity, with slowness, and with an openness to the unexpected music in everything. This album isn’t about performance, it’s about presence.”
