London indie-rock duo Sandhouse sign to Broke Records, release new single 'Snapdragon'

South London duo Sandhouse today share new single 'Snapdragon' and become the first UK act to sign to US label Broke Records. 'Snapdragon' follows the release of their debut EP 'Circus' last year. Consisting of Anna Sutherland and Caspar Holloway, Sandhouse have spent the past year refining a sound that threads together alt-rock bite, 60s psychedelia, trip-hop atmosphere and electronic textures.

Working with renowned producer Ben Hillier (Blur, Depeche Mode), Sandhouse lean into a more direct, guitar-driven sound on new single 'Snapdragon', its lyrics exploring the idea of wilful self-deception: "shark eyes glistened in our bed / licked your lips and kissed me good / you smelt blood and I wanted you."

Built around gently chugging guitars and a steady rhythmic drive, the track is anchored by Anna’s distinctive vocal delivery and cool-headed melodic hooks, balancing sweetness with a subtle sense of unease.

Speaking about the track, the band say: "'Snapdragon' flowers symbolise deception, due to the skull-like shape that appears when their petals fall away. This is a song about the excitement of recognising a lie and choosing to believe it, rather than turn away."

Over the past year, Sandhouse have been tipped by key press tastemakers including The Line Of Best Fit, DIY Magazine, Dork Magazine, Under The Radar, The New Cue, and more. Radio support to date includes spins across BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing (where the band were named Track of the Week). Their debut EP 'Circus' has since surpassed 2 million streams on Spotify alone.

The duo have also built a growing reputation on the live stage. With multiple sold-out headline shows in London at Corsica Studios, The Lexington and Peckham Audio, the band have recently supported acts including Dove Ellis and PORIJ, alongside tour runs with Bleach Lab and Panic Shack.

New single 'Snapdragon' is out now, marking another exciting step forward for the London duo.
