Pem - m4 windy

Named after the motorway between London and The West Country, Pem returns today with her brilliant new single m4 windy. A stretch of road I know all too well, travelling to gigs in Bristol and beyond, the track depicts Pem’s ever changing state between rootedness and anemophily (being taken by the wind). On the new single, Pem says - "I was driving on the M4 one day during that bout of gale force winds we had in early 2025. I was singing something to myself about a tornado and recorded a voice note of my tornado mumbles. My phone saved it as ‘m4’.I started writing when I got home and m4 windy was finished an hour later". The track comes accompanied by a beautifully shot video that encapsulates the track's haunting and reflective melodies. On the clip Pem says - "I reconnected with French filmmakers Camille and Juliette — aka Las Favoritas — who I first met when I was living in Paris seven years ago. Together we built an all femme-led crew. Nine of us piled into a van and drove to the countryside south of Paris to a surreal, sandy, rock park known for bouldering. We filmed through the night to create something earthy yet ephemeral, tempestuous but distant. It was so fun and the team were phenomenal" Take a watch/listen for yourselves below.
