German alternative/dark-pop quartet Letters Sent Home have released their new single 'Misery Loves Company (Stripped)', an acoustic version of their summer 2021 hit 'Misery Loves Company'.

In celebration of the news, Letters Sent Home have also announced their debut UK live performance: the group will be supporting alt rockers Blackout Problems at London's Black Heart on 16th November.

The new version of 'Misery Loves Company' is taken from Letters Sent Home's upcoming new EP, Fire In Me, released 2nd December via new label home Hassle Records.

The band comment: "'Misery Loves Company' are the thoughts of a person who loves too much, and feels their loved ones pain as if it was their own. Misery usually does love company, but in this case the protagonist is way too involved and is suffering just as much as the person in pain, instead of being able to lend a helping hand."

Fire In Me will be available as a limited vinyl release of 200 copies, pressed on crystal clear vinyl and handnumbered and signed by the band. Available exclusively from the Hassle Records store, the physical EP features two new versions of Letters Sent Home's hit 'Misery Loves Company', including this stripped-back version.

Letters Sent Home formed in 2017 in Wolfsburg, based on the close bonds of friendship of Emily, Lara and Robin, quickly finding a forth member in drummer Louis. The band began their journey fully in 2020 with their first single 'Mosaic Mirror' - and the process that the band have lived through can be described as rollercoaster, full of highs and lows.

Driven by courageous ambition, Letters Sent Home came closer to their goals with their first, self-titled EP in late 2020, which served as the foundation for an incredibly successful 2021.

The group's second EP, Misery Loves Company, offered a greater expansion of sound, but also two top-class guest features, underlines the band's increasing heft. Besides Being As An Ocean's Joel Quartuccio, Letters Sent Home also teamed up with Halflives singer Linda Battilani. Both post-hardcore-infused alternative rock songs, they sit alongside the band's synth-laden dark-pop influences, showcasing a fine modern pop-rock sound.

The Misery Loves Company EP led to national attention across key alternative media outlets and an ever-growing fanbase, as well as Hassle Records, their new label home for third EP Fire In Me. A stunning listen, it's a fine demonstration of Letters Sent Home's non-conforming rock sound and their strong lyrical identity.

Thematically the band touch on the topic of mental health, and vocalist Emily's personal experiences. The band raise awareness on these themes not just through their music but with initiatives such as their Helpless But Hopeful Festivals and accompanying podcast.

Having now signed with established London-based independent label Hassle Records, Letters Sent Home look set to establish themselves as one of the most promising acts to watch out for over the coming year – new EP Fire In Me coming December 2022, with the quartet already working on crafting their debut album.
