Maddie Ashman – releases her debut EP ‘Her Side’  accompanied by a music video for new track “Behind Closed Eyes”

British avant-pop artist and multi-instrumentalist Maddie Ashman releases her debut EP ‘Her Side’ via AWAL. The EP release is accompanied by a music video for new track “Behind Closed Eyes”. To celebrate the EP release, Maddie played a solo, subterranean London headline show at The Brunel Museum on Thursday night, which she had sold out in under 3 minutes.

Now known for exploring microtonal music in uncanny, illusory yet accessible ways, Maddie explains the origins of the ‘Her Side’ EP; “I wanted a project that could express everything I wanted to explore: from breakbeats to choral, pop to classical. Turning away from the ‘normal’, ‘conventional’, ‘expected’, and towards the ‘unspoken’, ‘what ifs’ and ‘unexpected’”, in the process turning away from the constraints of man-made instrument tunings to explore microtonal harmonies in a style that feels fluid, natural and never academic.

The 7-track EP includes the late-2025 string of singles “Seraphim”, “Jaded”, and “In Autumn My Heart Breaks”. In October Maddie hit the road for a European support tour with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard on their EU Rave Tour, where she joined the band on stage to play cello. In December she joined Jon Hopkins and Leo Abrahams at Fabric London for a live improvisational performance based on Ensemble Mi’s rendition of Olivier Messiaen: Quatuor pour la fin du temps.
