Australian shoegaze queen, Hatchie, is getting ready to release the deluxe edition of her 2022 sophomore record, Giving The World Away, and today’s offering is top tier indie meets dreampop!
Featuring New York singer/songwriter, Liam Benzvi, new track, “Rooftops,” is a classic dreamy Hatchie track with all the fixings. Perfect for all those spring and summer nights spent on a rooftop or a late night drive with someone special, “Rooftops” invokes a sense of calm and wonder as new possibilities and sense of freedom come into play.
“I wrote, recorded and mixed ‘Giving The World Away’ with Joe [Agius] and Jorge [Elbrecht] in 2020, with Joe and I recording in Brisbane and Jorge mixing in Denver. We wrapped everything up in December, with plans to release in April 2022. In the meantime, the three of us were finally all able to get back in a room together in 2021, with no specific plans for the outcome. After five intense writing days in the bitter Denver winter, we ended up with about 12 new ideas, some of which we felt fit perfectly into the world of the long-finished album. It was too late to make any additions at that stage, but we felt it would be a shame for them to not be included in the release. To me, these songs round out the world this album established, with my original intention being to make a more uplifting, energetic record than my first.”
The deluxe edition of Giving The World Away is set to drop on April 7 via Secretly Canadian. Pre-order & view track listing here!
