Banks said the project reflects emotions she tends not to address directly. “My third EP Bottled Up is out now! I’m very proud of this project and can’t wait for everyone to hear it. Bottled Up is about closure, or the lack there of, to be honest. I tend to bottle up emotions rather than confront them, and this EP is my way of letting it all out.” She has also described the material as her favorite music she has made.
The EP follows several other releases from Banks in 2026. “Too Busy Missing You” appeared on the soundtrack for Prime Video’s Off Campus, while “Come Down” plays over the end credits of Your Fault: London, in which Banks also stars. She also released Everything Is About You, a collaborative EP with Novo Amor and Lowswimmer. Banks recently performed “Anything But,” “Too Busy Missing You” and “Come Down” in a stripped-back Coal Drops Sessions set filmed on London’s Regent’s Canal.
Banks also began her “something inbetween tour” earlier this week, marking her first nationwide North American headline run, with Alfie Jukes as support. Demand after the initial on-sale led to added shows and venue upgrades, with multiple dates already sold out. The tour follows her first headline shows across North America, the U.K. and Europe after the release of her 2025 EP How Real Was It?. Banks also opened for Noah Kahan at BST Hyde Park and collaborated with Holly Humberstone on “Dive.”
