Over the previous couple of months Pickle Darling, the mission of New Zealand musician Lukas Mayo, has shared the candy indie pop singles “Large Every part” and “Human Bean Instruction Guide.” Mayo is following these up right this moment with the brand new single “Violence Voyager,” together with the information that every one three of these songs will seem on the forthcoming Pickle Darling album Battlebots, out in September.
Mayo self-recorded Battlebots at their residence studio in Christchurch. Although they cite pop diva classics like Madonna’s Ray Of Mild as a supply of inspiration, Battlebots is delightfully sparse and imperfect, feeling extra like a cross between Suicide’s self-titled and Beat Occurring. Mayo provides: “I needed to keep away from capturing a efficiency as a lot as attainable, all the things needed to be fragments, and I needed to indicate as a lot of the recording and modifying course of as attainable, leaving all of the seams uncovered.”
The comfy “Violence Voyager” — unclear if it’s named after the 2018 cardboard puppet horror flick — appears to weigh the mundanities of on a regular basis life with the looming anxieties behind them: “After I run out of ideas I consider battlebots/ Constructed to kill and smash and break and bend and take over jobs,” Mayo sings. Christiane Shortal animated its music video, which you’ll take a look at under together with the Battlebots tracklist.
