Rising from London’s indie scene, Sarah Meth takes listeners from the intimacy of her bedroom to the misty atmosphere of the city with her new single Winnies, released in May 2025. The track blends the fuck-slow melodies of dream-pop, the loose rhythms of lounge jazz, and the raw sincerity of bedroom-pop to create a soft yet intense emotional universe. 🌫️ A Minimal World, A Deep Feeling At first glance, Winnies appears calm and harmless, yet each note carries small fractures. As The Guardian’s Alex Turner noted, Meth’s vocals, with their “eerie, skeletal dream-pop” tone, convey emotional weight in a quiet yet powerful way. A Billie Eilish-like minimalist production adds texture to the song’s fragility. 🎷 Lounge-Jazz Touch & Lo-fi Influence Sarah previously explored lounge-jazz textures, known for her warm organ melodies since the Dead End World EP. In Winnies , she continues this sonic palette, making silence just as important as sound. This leaves space for the liste...

Punchy drums and gleaming guitars inject a high-definition energy, while still preserving the warm, intimate storytelling style that defines Runnner.
