[Weekly Mix] 2021.02 (4)

‘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.”

From the many musical lives of artist Glenn Donaldson emerges The Reds, Pinks and Purples, a project that sifts out the purest elements of pop music and in the process chronicles the point of view of an assiduous songwriter. His new album "Uncommon Weather" is both an elusive portrait of San Francisco -- during one of its fluctuations as an untenable place for musicians and artists -- and also a self-portrait of a songwriter who has dispatched another treasured collection of timeless sounding DIY-pop songs. Self-recorded and mostly self-performed, the music on "Uncommon Weather" continuously reckons with the influence of The Television Personalities' Dan Treacy, as well as The Cleaners From Venus, Blueboy, East River Pipe, and the Cherry Red and Flying Nun labels. Beautiful, mysterious and rather perfect pop.

UK South coasters, relocating from West to East: Katja Rackin and Sam Stacpoole have been grafting and honing alone, away from the expertise of music producers and other governors since 2016. The result is unadulterated and unclean, unabashed and uncompromised.

Holiday Ghosts are back with their 3rd full length - 'North Street Air' on FatCat Records 21st May 2021 - 12 songs of love, hate and everything in between.

First single from Tristan Arp's forthcoming EP 'Oddkin,' out March 19th on @humanpitch. Pre-order here smarturl.com/hp019
_______________________________________________________________
Borrowing its title from the language of writer Donna Haraway, multimedia artist Tristan Arp’s forthcoming EP, Oddkin engages with the imagined realities of non-human forms, from plants and insects to androids. Oscillating between playful and apocalyptic, ambient and polyrhythmic, Oddkin is a web of unlikely bonds hanging in the delicate balance of coexistence. Approaching each track as a different living creature or sentient form, Tristan Arp leans into animated sound design and asymmetrical rhythms for worldbuilding.

The EP’s cover art features an original painting made by Tristan Arp while finishing the record in his home in Mexico City in quarantine during 2020. Oddkin will be released on Tristan Arp’s Human Pitch label, run in collaboration with Simisea, on March 19th.
