‘Hardcore From The Heart’ starts with loss and ends with acceptance of the impossibility of achieving an ideal life, examining the imbalance that exists between the life lived and the ideal sought. It’s title is borrowed from the book by sexologist and essayist Annie Sprinkles to reflect the nuanced, emotional and introspective journey that Serrat pursues in her lyrics and music.

Lead single ‘Pictures’ illustrates the album’s rich textures and immersive atmospherics. “Pictures talks about disillusion and the failure of communication,” comments Serrat. “It's also a reminder of the amount of time we stupidly waste on trivial details. That idea of 'perfection never comes' is that you are better off just living your life because things can always go wrong. Tables turn in the blink of an eye. So putting off things while waiting for the right time to do them kills me. 

“The song takes place in Montréal and it's about a broken promise. It was inspired by the fact I didn't let myself be angry with that disappointment. I built a wall and let my frustration and sadness grow in this space but never expressed it. That took a toll on me and by the time I realized it, it was too late.”

El Ten Eleven, Kishi Bashi - Every Day Is a Sunday

Once I played my electric harp on the lead line of this classic 2010’s sad bop, it was a match made in heaven. This song is a perfect blend of upbeat and groovy with the undertones that get you in your feelings, all the things that I’m really about as an artist.

SURPRISE
In the quiet of a room
When there’s nothing left to do
Will you hold me babe
Save me

People disappear from view
See the sunrise on the roof
I already hate today
It’s so lonely

Get up 
I know we just made it home
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober
Being alive is just getting old
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober

Thought I’d give away my youth
To something better used
And I need it babe
It’s just part of the day

I don’t know 
never talked much
Sometimes feelings not enough
There’s a deeper pain
It’s empty

Get up 
I know we just made it home
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober
Being alive is just getting old
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober

So get up I know we just made it home
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober
Being alive is just getting old
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober

Laveda - Surprise

This song was inspired by road trips across North America. 
In an effort to escape my home, family and everything I thought I had become, to find the person who I thought I could be - only to find the baggage I tried to leave behind was the baggage I carried with me.


This song is out now on Spirit Goth Records.
