Australian musician Harriette Pilbeam is releasing her debut record under the name Hatchie on June 21st via Double Double Whammy. Titled Keepsake, the album follows last year’s spectacular debut EP Sugar & Spice.
Today’s Song of the Day is the record’s lead single, “Without A Blush.” The track has a Cocteau Twins meets Carly Rae Jepsen soaring pop splendor to it. Hatchie calls the song “the perfect introduction to the feelings & sounds on the rest of the record,” which means this album is likely going to be very good.
Last week, Hatchie kicked off a massive North American tour opening for Girlpool. They’ll make a stop in Seattle this Friday, April 12 to play Neumos. Below, watch the Joe Agius-directed video for “Without A Blush.”
