Charlotte Spiral decided to name themselves after a well known pose in figure skating after
watching endless old black and white figure skating videos in slow motion. Mesmerised by the
elegance and beauty of the routines, the duo – made up of Amy Spencer and Avi Barath –
started playing along, creating a live soundtrack using only voice and piano. These musical
ideas quickly developed into distinctive and bold songs, whilst retaining the timeless spirit of the
figure skating videos that inspired the project.
In 2019, London producer and Speedy Wundergrounds’s Dan Carey stumbled upon Charlotte
Spiral’s early demos and invited them to his studio. Together, they finalised the duo’s two
previous releases, Ideal Life and New Light, and both EPs were met with critical acclaim from
the likes of The Sunday Times, Clash and The Line of Best Fit.
Charlotte Spiral's new single 'Suddenly' is out now.
