But for just a little while longer, the double life continues. Things feel a little more real with the album about to drop Pilbeam and Agius plan to relocate to the US to tour it. “Without touring it’s really difficult to make a living off music – touring and merch sales are the two really big things for artists of my size, so when those options aren’t there you really don’t have anything.”
“At times it felt like the project didn’t even exist – even if I was working on it at home, sometimes it’s like if a tree falls in the woods and no one’s around to hear it,” she says. As Pilbeam returned to retail work in Brisbane while chipping away at the album, she also started a Patreon as a way of reminding listeners, and herself, that Hatchie was still alive. Such self-belief became increasingly hard-won in a time when many of the hallmarks of being a working musician – touring, rehearsing, regularly releasing music – have been off the cards. “It sounds lame, but it really does start from within – you have to really believe it yourself.” “I realised that if you want to play bigger shows you have to write bigger songs and tell yourself that it’s going to happen,” Pilbeam says. Lyrically, I think I wanted to focus on more serious subject matter.”ĭespite her introspection, the new Hatchie album still brings a big, rhythmic sound, evoking a particular 90s milieu, somewhere between Savage Garden, Impossible Princess-era Kylie and Happy Mondays. “It didn’t feel quite like the right timing for me to put that record out. “I thought it was going to be even more like 90s house Madchester, acid house vibes – and it ended up being a lot more introspective,” she says. The album nails the sound and visuals of a time before Napster and Spotify, when pop stars and cult acts could still burn through record label money to create dark, glossy crossover hits.Īfter her debut EP and first album, both filled with shimmering, harmony-filled indie rock redolent of the Cranberries, Cocteau Twins and Slowdive, Pilbeam initially envisioned the second Hatchie LP as a pivot towards the sweaty, loud atmosphere of the club. That contrast is made all the more stark with Giving the World Away, her second album under the Hatchie name. That makes it appear as if it’s part of the same pathway, when, in fact, the entire foreground is on a higher plane.Me sweating bullets all day at work today stacking boxes in a warehouse with a bunch of 18 year olds in activewear /8yiwKEP6KQ- Hatchie March 22, 2022
