Baby Youre A Winner is a perfect illustration of the elevated musicality of the album that bears its name. Linking up across the records twelve tracks with producer Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Perfume Genius, Yard Act), Baby Youre A Winner showcases a real levelling up for Grandmas House: more layered and involved than their trio of previous EPs - Grandmas House (2021), Who Am I (2023), Anything For You (2025) - with a greater focus on the use of vocals and harmonies to embolden the meticulously crafted arrangements.
Its the sound of the quartet - Yasmin Berndt (guitar, vocals), Poppy Dodgson (vocal, drums), Zo Zinsmeister (bass, vocals) and Polly Jessett (guitar) - bringing a greater sense of nuance and space to their music, while deploying myriad genres to maximum effect. From the righteous, elasticated rock of recent single DOG to the syncopated post-punk and brass blasts of Dance and on to the chamber folk ambiance of closer Spring, Baby Youre A Winner is the most authentic, realised portrait of Grandmas House to date.
The songs here navigate a precarious balancing act between sadness and catharsis, ultimately landing in a place of salvation - the product of the bands tight-knit friendship, this album is their gift to the world, born from a period of grief and hardship but emerging from the other side with profound love and strength. Its a testament that even when the odds are against you, anyone can be a winner.
We wrote this album about the existential crisis of going through life, explain the band. Its about love and infatuation but also about grief and loneliness. Its emotional, powerful, sad and a good time all at once.
