Hatchie

Stay With Me has the main hook lifted from something, it's exactly the same sound, something in the last few years I think, cannot for the life of me think what it is, but it's really familiar.

it's fucken born slippy ffs

corny indie nuxx

it's not born slippy, born slippy sounds a bit like it, what I am thinking of is exactly the same sound

is it everything is embarrassing

Not to be vague or anything but I may or may not be singing on a song coming out kind of soon

my guess on a postcard is Calvin Harris

my sock puppet is going with Clean Bandit

I can see it being someone like Four Tet

She was probably referring to this:

It's Joe Agius's "solo" project, which consist of the same lineup as Hatchie except he's singing main vocals. So it's basically a Hatchie track.

I like it a lot. I realize that this stuff is probably super derivative but they do know how to write a song!

Looking forward to Hatchie's new stuff.

I kind of like it but also kind of think it goes into that Sixpence None the Richer song at the end

Even *more* Cocteau Twins-ish in the bass dept, I'm thinking.

I had to google who he even is (I guess I haven't ever heard of The Creases before?). This is v good, though.

he's hatchie's main guitarist/keyboardist & boyfriend, but yes he's formerly of the creases who are honestly not really worth knowing about. i saw them live once as an opening act and they were very forgettable

I listened to the one album that's on Spotify. It was perfectly ok, but probably once was enough.

I feel like these guys use the perfect shoegaze guitar / bass settings for me. Just the right mix of Cocteau Twins, Lush and Slowdive (with a bit of Sundays mixed in). And live they sound even better. I'm taking about Hatchie/Joe A.

Perfect new single

Pushing all those 90s feels for me.

It feels a bit all over the place for me but it's got its moments.

I guess the melody/chorus could've been better, imo.

Yeah this is best part about it for sure. The piano sound in particular is a nice touch.

The madchester drums don't hurt either.

Yes! I hadn't even payed attention to that. The first 35 seconds are very Happy Mondays. And then the guitar is full-on Shoegaze (a little on the noisier side this time).

There also this recent cover of Taylor Swift's August:

Probably the Cocteau-est sounding thing she's done.

new song is decent but not her best, great guitar sound though

glad to hear her cover "august", it really needed someone to give it a dream-pop cover

really regretting deleting fb a while back now because without it i had no idea she was regularly (& safely!) playing local shows all through the pandemic, would have been nice to see

That piano is very Madchester, I love this. Also she seems a lot more at ease in this video than any of her previous ones.

Maybe we can get Wax to reunite for a Wax / Hatchie / Waxahatchee tour.

Has a slight feel of something St Etienne might've done at some point in the past 30 years

This is great

Yeah, not bad!

I played the August cover to my other half yesterday then today I heard the original in a charity shop for the first time.

Can't wait!

Can't wait x 2

The new track is decent too! She's yet to release a bad song.

thoroughly excited for this new record based off these pre-release tracks -- "Quicksand" especially is so fucking good

Hatchie and Dan Nigro together is a dream come true tbh

i have a ticket to see her next month but i'm probably not going to go with the covid situation, i bought tickets right before news of omicron hit unfortunately

I saw her play live a few years back and she was excellent - very faithful to the studio versions but for me at least that was absolutely not a problem.

yeah i've seen her before so it's no great loss

Maybe my favorite live-sounding act (compared to how the sound on the record). They really crank up the shoegaze and it works beautifully.

New track!

Listening to this right now by pure coincidence. Nice enough.

And another one:

This is shaping to be quite the album.

Incredible song. That second chorus really is a moment.

Her album coming out the same day as the Real Lies one is going to end me. I'm thinking of taking the following week off work.

is there anything as good as Stay with Me, Sure or Secret on the new record?

her first album disappointed me a little bit, but she has about half a dozen or so songs that have developed a very special place in my heart

Album is fantastic

Absolute scenes here listening to this track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2nZ_e0_jHc

wow, love the sound on this. got some real NIN/industrial qualities folded into the ravey/housey/whooshy/Cocteau soup she was already serving up.

yeah "the rhythm" really goes for it with its industrial madchester thing

idk if anything on here quite matches "stay with me" or "obsessed" but it's solid and maybe a little stronger than the debut overall, the new industrial edge to the guitars really helps

I don’t really hear industrial - more Curve (especially Cuckoo), though I guess if you were casting around for a contemporary reference point then the last Halsey album might be one.

I feel like the melodies Hatchie concocted on the first EP were so indelible that it has placed her in something of a quandary ever since. She occasionally gets back to that level (“Obsessed” being the best example probably) but both the first album and now this one mostly have less memorable melodies - but the flipside is that that maybe liberates her to explore sonically, and I can’t help but nod approvingly at almost every choice she makes on this new one. It’s a lovely sounding album.

Should clarify that “less memorable melodies” is only relative - there’s some fantastic melodies on both albums.

it's really just "the rhythm" that's not far off nine inch nails in places but the harder-hitting guitars on it show up a fair amount elsewhere too
