The Beautiful Word

About Me

You can buy our album here!
BIOG. The Beautiful Word are a quintet set for the top in the world of mystery pop. And why not claim the throne of a genre they invented? Born in Jan 2007 front girls Emily and Megan began singing harmonies for each other’s tunes - and the tinkly pretty tiny songs hushed even the rowdiest of open mic's. They have since grown into a big whack of beautiful sound with added punch from the noise boys - Nelson (guitar) Scotty (bass) and Gruff (drums).
Best known for their live shows, the gigs include colouring in competitions, sweet/cake throwing, and ma-hoo-sive costumes.

Their debut album - 'Curvature of Words' was produced in their house and was released on 18th October and launched at The Coalition, Brighton.

The Beautiful Word- Brighton's finest mystery-pop quintet- will spin you a sparkly web of wonder and melodic delight. A fantastical blend of the childish and sophisticated. Think Swizzels-Matlow making teapots for grown-ups. Expect songs about love, heartbreak and animals.

"Ah! The beautiful word - a new band in Brighton who sound completely different…good news indeed."
