HALEY - who made the decision to change her moniker last year - has unveiled "Bratt", one half of a special 7" due out next month.

"Bratt" will be packaged with "My Wave" on red vinyl for a new release on Record Store Day. The artwork comes courtesy of HALEY's young daughter.

"These two songs are kind of the last ones I wrote with lyrics in them, at least, for the time being," HALEY explains. "'Bratt' was intended to be sung from a teenage perspective, appropriating that unsentimental attitude while simultaneously looking back at yourself at that age, all of the insecurities that went along with it, letting go of your self-judgement on the past."

As well as the release, HALEY will be marking Record Store Day with a performance at Cardiff's Spillers Records on 20 April for BBC 6 Music. On Record Store Day itself (21 April) she'll be heading out to play a range of UK record stores, including Resident Music, Pie and Vinyl, and Banquet.

HALEY released her most recent LP, Impossible Dream, in 2016. It's very good.

The "Bratt" 7" is out 21 April via Memphis Industries.
