NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 6, 2021) - Nashville-based indie-pop band Brontë Fall, led by singer/songwriter and classically trained multi-instrumentalist Teri Bracken revealed the new music video for song “Outsmart Love,” today. Directed by Kelsey Kopecky, the video is a nod to the famous English sisters of literature - the Brontë sisters of the 19th century - and highlights the paradox of love. The video shows Bracken in a cabin surrounded by books, feeling the pain of heartbreak. She quickly realizes that there are no amount of books that can be read to outsmart love. “Outsmart Love” was featured across multiple playlists including; Sounds Like Nashville’s New Nashville playlist, Americana Highways Back Roads Playlist, and DittyTV’s New Music Friday playlist.

Named as an artist that is “free enough to speak her mind” (PopMatters) and one that “has found a way to express feelings that suggest we don’t need to be tied to outside expectations” (Folk Radio), Bracken teamed up with collaborator Isaac Slutsky to co-write the moody and ethereal new track “Outsmart Love,” exploring the vulnerable nature of falling in love and its uncertainty. Delivered just in time for those winter vibes, the single was produced by Jake Finch and follows previously released song “Indiana” and acclaimed EP Finishing School. “Outsmart Love” and “Indiana” will be included on a forthcoming EP due out in 2022.
Bracken’s love for English literature led to naming the band Brontë Fall after the Brontë sisters who fought the ever-evolving societal restraints on women in the 19th century and published works under male pseudonyms. Capturing their spirit of a centuries-old push by the Brontë sisters to have their-and all women's-voices heard, Brontë Fall’s most recent release and second studio album Finishing School was lauded as a collection of bold songs and topics that addressed societal norms and expectations on women. American Songwriter praised Bracken’s “non-traditional approach” and Pop Matters highlighted the catalogue of songs that “refer to the ‘good life’ of the American housewife.”
The rising multi-instrumentalist and songwriter made the move to Nashville four years ago after being drawn to the city's diverse and evolving music scene, and one that has grown past its’ country music roots to include a fusion of genres including rock and pop. She quickly found like-minded collaborators and began introducing her own blend of indie-pop and rootsy Americana - a sound shaped by years of experience as a Berklee College of Music graduate, studying orchestral music, playing stringed instruments and countless classical sonatas and concertos on the violin.
