From Manchester’s Heart, Aimee Pendlebury Delivers a Poignant Tale of Insomnia and Self-Doubt with 'Headcounts'

In the quiet streets of Wigan, Greater Manchester, Aimee Pendlebury, alongside Ben Grimshaw, have come together to knit sound and story with the single release 'Headcounts'. This latest release delves head-deep into the night's embrace. Exploring the themes of insomnia, self-doubt, and the elusive quest for peace of mind, the lyrics captivate almost instantly. It is through Pendlebury's indie pop-rock, enriched with acoustic subtleties and a singer-songwriter's soul, that come together to craft an eerily haunting and beautifully melodic soundscape.


A cinematic opening sets the scene for an eerie experience, but before things get too deep, we find ourselves whisked into an acoustic and intimate arena of raw and moving vocals. The vocals are raw, they fill the space, and they captivate you but equally, the tones of the acoustic guitar do too. Hauntingly stunning, the swaying of the guitar strums along with the occasional backing vocal sweep you through a forest of introspection.


It's not an empty release. It takes your soul. It whispers to your darkest moments and breathes light into the emotion of solace. Tonally, the sound reminds me of Bellah Mae's Abbey Road Equalise acoustic performance. I feel the same energy as I did in the room, without being in the room. The sound of Aimee Pendlebury is one to keep an eye on.



Channelling the restless thoughts that plague the sleepless nights into music, is something that we hear often but also not enough. 'Headcounts' quantifies Pendlebury's journey into a perspective on the complexities of human emotion. It is through this release that the song pairs profound lyricism with intricate vocal melodies to create an ambience within pop.


Recorded in the intimate setting of Ben Grimshaw’s home studio, 'Headcounts' is the culmination of months of collaboration, showcasing the dynamic synergy between Pendlebury’s vocals and Grimshaw’s multifaceted instrumental talents. This track represents a significant evolution from the initial, more stripped-back version, embracing a fuller sound that truly captures the song's haunting essence.


Aimee Pendlebury's music resonates with those who find themselves wandering the corridors of their mind late at night, seeking solace in the shadows. So, for people like me who get stuck in their heads when the sun goes down, there's something greatly valuable to take from the release of 'Headcounts'.
