London duo Sandhouse share seductive new single 'Pollyanna'

 South London duo Sandhouse today share new single 'Pollyanna', a glimpse into a forthcoming project due to be revealed over the coming months.

Opening with glassy electronics before rupturing into distorted guitars and blown-out alt-rock catharsis, 'Pollyanna' pairs Anna Sutherland’s featherlight vocals with lyrics that feel seductive and darkly playful - romantic fantasy gradually curdling into something more obsessive and difficult to control.

Speaking about the track, the band say:

"'Pollyanna is about becoming numbed by the cinema of infatuation, and using the fairytale of romance to blindly ignore any signs of reality."

Consisting of Anna Sutherland and Caspar Holloway, Sandhouse carve out a sound that folds together grunge guitars, bleary trip-hop production, warped psychedelia and nocturnal alt-pop.

Their 2025 debut EP 'Circus' - along with the two standalone singles that have followed - have been tipped by key press tastemakers including The Line Of Best Fit, DIY Magazine, Dork Magazine, Under The Radar, Rolling Stone UK, The New Cue, and more. Radio support to date includes regular spins across BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing (where the band were named Track of the Week). Debut EP 'Circus' is fast approaching 4 million streams on Spotify alone.

The duo have also built a growing reputation on the live stage, with sold-out headline shows at Corsica Studios, The Lexington and Peckham Audio helping spread the band's reputation largely through word of mouth, alongside support dates and tours with Dove Ellis, PORIJ, Bleach Lab and Panic Shack.

New single 'Pollyanna' is out now via Broke Records, with news of a new project from the duo to follow in the near future.
