Eaglemont, the jangle rock project of Melbourne’s Bridgitte Jessop, is on the precipice of something huge. Eaglemont has quickly made a name for herself in the Australian music scene, demonstrating an impressive ability to combine clever wit and genuine heart within her lyrics, encased within a perfectly cool, distortion-heavy sound.
In 2019 Eaglemont released ‘Heteronormative Nightmare’, a thoughtful and vulnerable track wrapped up in their signature high-energy, jangly vibe. The song is a bit of a red herring – while embracing a tongue-in-cheek approach, Eaglemont’s idiosyncratic vocal delivery hints at the raw nature of the song’s theme; having a sudden understanding of your sexuality as a teenager.
Eaglemont has spent the last year in the studio, putting the final touches on her debut album ‘Party Boy’, scheduled for release in 2023. Produced by Jonathon Tooke (Cry Club) and mixed by Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy), this album is a massive step forward for the project on all fronts.
