How Hatchie Reinvented Herself on Giving The World Away
Hatchie‘s debut album Keepsake was a beautifully dreamy, widescreen statement for the Australian artist, but throughout the album was a thick fog the enveloped the sweet surroundings. Now, for her glorious second album, Giving The World Away, out this Friday (April 22nd), the fog has cleared and revealed Hatchie in her truest form. Where Keepsake dabbled heavily in shoegaze and ’90s era dream pop, Giving The World Away doubles down hard, creating anthemic pop hooks out of homespun beats and powerful moments of crystalline rock. It’s a logical progression for Hatchie (born Harriette Pilbeam), but don’t think her carefully-calculated aesthetic takes away from the vulnerable truth of her lyrics—Hatchie is more open than ever before on Giving The World Away, and as she works to disma...
Wild Pink Share New Song “Q. Degraw”: Stream
New York indie rockers Wild Pink are back with a new song. Listen to the shoegazey single “Q. Degraw” below. “Q. Degraw” is a spacey, ethereal number, with steady drums marching over a blissed-out fuzz guitar. John Ross’ voice proves nearly unintelligible amid all the noise, but according to a press release, the singer is tackling some pretty serious emotions in the number. “This song is about my experiences with some health problems and how an extremely stressful situation can sharpen your focus on what’s important in life,” Ross said. “It’s also about how that stress can sometimes cause you to dissociate from yourself.” Advertisement Related Video The song stretches out for over six minutes, and despite its tough subject matter, it fades out on a warm, fulfilling note. Even better, Winde...
Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser Shares New Song “Golden Air”: Stream
Back in February, Cocteau Twins singer Elizabeth Fraser and her partner, Massive Attack drummer Damon Reece, announced a new project called Sun’s Signature. Now, ahead of their self-titled EP, the duo have shared the song “Golden Air.” Listen to the single below. Where Cocteau Twins’ textured music muddled Fraser’s famously ethereal voice, the singer beckons clearly in “Golden Air,” a sparse track that features syncopated percussion and vocalizations before exploding into a wall of synthesizers. The track comes with a visualizer that sees, naturally, golden sunlight reflect through nature. Like the four other Sun’s Signature songs, “Golden Air” has existed in some form or another for quite some time. Fraser shared “Underwater” on a limited single back in 2000, and the duo performed so...
