Description Hide Show LP Indies Only Strictly Limited Edition Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl The second album from Hatchie, Giving The World Away is the truest introduction to the songwriter at the helm of the project, Harriette Pilbeam. Although her sound arrived fully-formed, a dazzling dream-pop and shoegaze tangle, its here that she distills the core of herself into a record. Theres more to me than just writing songs about being in love or being heartbroken theres a bigger picture than that, Pilbeam explains. This album really just feels like the beginning to me, and scratching the surface and even though its my third release as Hatchie, I feel like Im rebooting from scratch. For Pilbeam, that bigger picture explored here includes confronting her anxieties after decades of compartmentalisation; realising her own self-confidence and self-esteem; taking control of her own narrative, and her place in both her professional and personal life. On Giving the World Away, she held herself to higher standards, especially with personal lyrical precision. At the time she started working on it, she was caught in a strange headspace. When 2018 EP Sugar & Spice and subsequent debut LP Keepsake both arrived to critical acclaim and catapulted Hatchie into an international spotlight, she felt both unsure of herself and an intense, self-imposed pressure to keep going forward. Trapped in constant motion, Pilbeam was unable to be present or appreciative of herself, both professionally and personally. She tackles that struggle directly in the moody single Quicksand, written with GRAMMY-nominated Olivia Rodrigo collaborator Dan Nigro. I used to think that this was something I could die for / I hate admitting to myself that I was never sure, she sings, inverting the thesis of one of her early break-out singles Sure. And then, a few lines later, she regains her footing in her musicality, and in herself: Its all I know, and Im taking it back. Quicksand is about dealing with the realisation that youll never be satisfied Pilbeam comments. I started writing it when I was home between tours in 2019 before finishing it with Joe Agius and Dan Nigro the next year. I was feeling guilty and ungrateful for not being happy about a few different things in my life that were technically going well. I had to work through some tough learned thought processes and emotions that had been working away for years to try to understand how to be happy with my present, and stop fixating on my past and future. The video digs deeper into showing this juxtaposition of such sadness and anger despite being surrounded by glamour and grandeur. Director Nathan Castiel adds: For Quicksand, I created a video that plays off of some tropes of Hollywood glamour in a melancholy and surreal way while giving Harriette room to perform and express the songs raw emotions. We leaned into a neon-tinged after hours aesthetic and shot on 16mm which added a griminess to the opulent locations and set pieces. * Image shown is for mock-up purposes only.
