shortstraw. unleashes rave-fuelled release ‘Pattern Up’ ahead of new mixtape

Coventry’s own shortstraw. returns with ‘Pattern Up’, offering another taste of her upcoming mixtape coinstar.

Following the buzz around ‘motorola’, the new track dives even deeper into chaos by fusing hardcore bass pressure, distorted guitar textures and breakneck jungle rhythms into something built for pure release. It’s loud, frantic, and unapologetically physical.

Beneath the intensity lies a clear purpose. ‘Pattern Up’ channels frustration with the current state of the UK, but rather than dwell in it, the track flips that tension into movement, delivering a call to lose yourself in the moment before reality creeps back in.

Known for her sharp, often tongue-in-cheek delivery, shortstraw. balances grit with personality, pulling from punk, grime and rave culture to create something that feels both raw and immediate.

With a growing reputation on stage and coinstar arriving May 22, she’s quickly becoming one of the most vital new voices coming out of the UK underground.
