"Taste the Bruise" Album Launch

Taste the Bruise – Performed Live for the First Time

Step into the labyrinthine world of Starsky-Rae, as the Glasgow-based producer/songwriter unveils their debut album Taste the Bruise, — live and in full.

‘A journey through the mind of an emotional masochist’, Taste the Bruise is a genre-warping dive into indie dream-pop, rich with electronic rhythms, hypnotic samples, and flickers of hyper-pop. Written, produced, performed by one independent artist ibased in Glasgow’s Southside, a debut both intensely personal and wildly imaginative.

As the first glimpse into the unreleased record, ‘Call It’ showcases Starsky-Rae’s razor-sharp grasp of sonic storytelling. The track blends tongue-n-cheek humour with haunting emotional honesty — a hallmark of the album as a whole. With its clever use of unreliable narration and cutting lyricism, it pulls listeners into a world where nothing is quite what it seems.

Among the standout moments of the upcoming album is 'What?', a track that exemplifies Starsky-Rae’s signature style — wielding wit as a narrative weapon. Beneath the wicked humour lies a complex, self-sabotaging character.

While the album leans heavily on intricate electronic textures, the live performance will bring these elements to life with the full band, reinterpreting each track with raw instrumentation, promising an immersive, emotionally-charged show that reshapes the album’s intimate bedroom origins into a raj experience.

Starsky-Rae’s debut invites you into a world that is as self-aware as it is emotionally raw.
