Bored At My Grandmas House Announces New Album

Not being funny, but Bored At My Grandma House produces hazy pop gold at its very peak, Amber's new anticipated debut album 'Show And Tell' drops on the 7th of June via CLUE Records / EMI North and we personally cant wait.

After making waves with her critically acclaimed debut EP Sometimes I Forget You're Human Too, Bored at My Grandmas House, AKA Leeds-based Amber Strawbridge, announces her debut album Show & Tell for June 7th via CLUE Records (The Wedding Present, Van Houten, YOWL) / EMI North (Nadine Shah) as well as a a London headline date at MOTH Club on October 16th.  The title track is out now with the reveal of the record - following late 2023 release ‘Inhibitions’. Reminiscent of artists like Soccer Mommy, Snail Mail, and Alvvays, ‘Show & Tell’ is a breezy track which meets at the intersection between dream-pop, bedroom-pop and shoegaze, the sprightly guitar work echoing the droll lyrics and themes. It’s a hooky song which lays bare difficulties with trust, and building walls for self-protection. As Amber explains:  “Show & Tell is quite a tongue-in-cheek song about me being the opposite of an open book and all the little specific things about me that I sometimes wish were different. Overall it’s about me being a guarded person and fearing the possibility of having to be vulnerable and realising that vulnerability is actually a beautiful thing and something i shouldn’t be so scared of.”  On her debut album, Amber explores a broad range of heavy topics including anxiety, friendship, introspection, love, human greed, mental health, loss and empathy (or a lack of it) in the world. Despite the breadth of themes covered, each track deals with the weight of the subject with real conviction, while not losing any of Amber’s trademark pop sensibilities. She elaborates a little more on the thematic process:  “The main overall theme of this album is connection. Connection with myself, connection with the world and connection to the people around me who I love. This album is for me first and foremost and was a way for me to internally process.  The origin of these tracks all stem from me wanting to understand these connections and process my emotions surrounding them. The album covers topics such as the power of queer love, humanity and its ‘delusions of grandeur’,  reflection and purpose.  It would be unwise to say that I haven’t developed and changed a lot since my EP. I’ve experienced more, questioned more, felt more and allowed myself to be vulnerable more - which I hope translates throughout the Album.”  Amber has received support and coverage from DIY, Dork, Clash, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music, Rough Trade and more in the past, and has played Glastonbury, BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend, Swn Festival, Standon Calling, Deer Shed (main stage) and more.  Originally from Cumbria but now based in Leeds, Amber began recording music in 2017 using garageband on her phone; she updated her bedroom set-up after saving up to buy a laptop and Logic Pro. After a couple of years of self taught production and recording Amber began working with Clue Records, releasing her debut EP Sometimes I Forget You're Human Too which gained critical acclaim and sold out two pressings all before Amber had ever played a single gig.  Amber wrote and recorded all the demos for her debut album in her bedroom, before taking them to The Nave studio where she worked with Alex Greaves to give them a studio twist, allowing them to fulfil their rightful potential.

Helen Hooper

Helen Hooper, 31, went missing from her home in Hertfordshire around 14 February 1976 and was never seen again. Her husband was charged with her murder, but the case was dropped. A body has never been found.

Police confirmed the case "remains undetected" but would "continue to be subject to review".

Helen met Walter Hooper when she was 16 and he was nearly 50. They married in London in 1962, when she was 17, and subsequently had three children. He already had a son and daughter from a previous marriage. It has been reported their relationship was difficult and she had tried to leave him three times.

Moving to the hamlet of Broken Green near Standon in the 1970s, Helen taught at nearby Hadham Hall School where it is said she met a colleague, Colin Clarke.

Police believe she had planned to move in with him and it was thought she was going to tell her husband on 13 February 1976.

Investigators believed she never met Mr Clarke as planned on 14 February.

Det Insp John Newton, who was in charge of the investigation, said "We know she was planning to leave her husband and set up home with Mr Clarke. But on the morning she was to meet him, she did not turn up and has not been seen since."

Mr Hooper, then 63, was charged with her murder, and at a magistrates' hearing in October 1976, the prosecution said one of their sons woke in the night to hear his parents arguing. The prosecution alleged that after that, Mr Hooper killed his wife and disposed of her body, telling their children the next day that she had gone shopping.

Magistrates were told he had not seemed worried when she did not return and only called police when her parents insisted. Evidence was also presented about traces of Helen's blood found at the property.

Mr Hooper died in 1996, but his version of events was that he had last seen his wife on the morning of 14 February, when a man came to the house in a car and she got in. He said he could not see who the man was and maintained he knew nothing about Mr Clarke.

"The car whizzed down the road and I haven't seen Helen since," it’s reported him as saying. Two days later, under the headline "I'm innocent" the paper reported he had told them: "I know the police regard me as their number one suspect. They've been here time and time again asking questions and making suggestions to me. They tried to suggest I killed her and hid her body away but it's nonsense. I don't know where she is, I only wish I did."

After an eight-day hearing, magistrates ruled there was no case for Mr Hooper to answer.

No-one else has been charged with her murder, but the Hertfordshire Police case review team has kept the inquiry open. The case remains unsolved.
