What started life as a experimental choral piece was reinvented in Pearce\u2019s hands as a Drones-inspired garage rock jam. Flash forward four years, and Aphir returned the favour by recording Tim\u2019s song \u2018Diving Bell\u2019 with a video by long-term collaborator and film-maker Simone Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reminded of her previous collaboration with Tim, and of the song that got away, Aphir reopened the door on \u2018Your Heroine\u2019 and, drawing on more advanced production and mixing skills, found a new lease of life for the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour Heroine is about the bottom-of-the-barrel exhausted feeling when you care deeply about someone and they don\u2019t feel the same way about you,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Your Heroine\u2019 comes as a double-headed single, coupled with Aphir\u2019s version of \u2018Diving Bell\u2019, and is a testament to the circuitous and unexpected route that art can often take before it finds its true place.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[highlight color=&#8221;silver&#8221;]TRACKLISTING[\/highlight]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your Heroine<\/li><li>Diving Bell<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Your Heroine\u2019 Written and produced by Becki Whitton<br>\u2018Diving Bell\u2019 Written by Tim Pearce, produced by Becki Whitton<br>Artwork by Simone Thompson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Released 6 December 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aphir returns to Provenance with a double-header single featuring Your Heroine and a unique cover of Diving Bell by Tim Pearce.
