Phoebe Green<\/a> has announced her new album \u2018Premature Nostalgia\u2019 with the dizzying and beautiful single \u2018There\u2019s Always Someone Kicking The Seat\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Manchester singer-songwriter will release the follow-up to her 2022 debut record \u2018Lucky Me\u2019 on October 2 via The Green Dream Machine\/Absolute, and you can pre-order your copy\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The album has been written and produced alongside her sister Lucy Green, aka Elucyve, and \u2018There\u2019s Always Someone Kicking The Seat\u2019 gives fans their first taste of it. Over a frantically busy bed of electronic rhythms and effects, Green\u2019s disaffected, cool spoke-sung delivery gives way to spectral, delicate vocals.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song, Green has said:\u00a0\u201cWe wanted this song to feel extremely visceral, as though the listener is experiencing the story firsthand; it was written in a similar way to \u2018Reinvent\u2019 lyrically where I just wanted to get an experience off my chest and melodically nothing fit, so I ended up just talking.\u00a0It\u2019s maybe my only proper break-up song, and Lucy really beautifully encapsulated the chaotic emotional journey sonically.\u00a0It felt really fitting for the verses to feel quite\u00a0matter\u00a0of fact, recounting events, then melancholic choruses followed by a cathartic outro.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has also said that influences on \u2018Premature Nostalgia\u2019 include\u00a0Jockstrap<\/a>,\u00a0James Blake<\/a>, Imogen Heap<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0FKA Twigs<\/a>, and has explained it will \u201cexplore my tendency to be extremely sentimental and attach value to every little thing \u2013 feeling nostalgic before a moment is even over and trying to control the grieving process by going through the motions prematurely in order to prepare myself\u201d.<\/p>\n

The album also\u00a0contains\u00a0a collaboration with Picture Parlour\u2019s Katherine Parlour and makes use of field recordings captured from Manchester\u2019s industrial landscape and club culture.<\/p>\n

    NME\u00a0awarded her debut \u2018Lucky Me\u2019 four stars in 2022<\/a>, writing: \u201cOn her debut album, Green finds power and release by marching to the beat of her own drum. By letting go of inhibition and surrendering to her musical instincts she\u2019s created not just one unique sound, but worlds within worlds of indie pop brilliance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phoebe Green has announced her new album \u2018Premature Nostalgia\u2019 with the dizzying and beautiful single \u2018There\u2019s Always Someone…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[264],"tags":[18,117,42973,19,6082,17,337],"class_list":["post-546385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-experimental","tag-ie","tag-indie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116786984800470411","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
