The performer’s incoming EP ‘Stress And Persuasion’ is a sequence of character research, girlhood and womanhood via the eyes of various people. There’s a permanence to it, too, with Frankie commenting…
These tales inform of girlhood and womanhood. Pressures to behave, to talk, to look a sure means… Hearken to the parallels between these tales from tons of of years in the past and womens’ experiences proper now and suppose – what’s happening right here and why can’t we transfer on?
New music ‘Elsie Marley’ sums up her method. A really other-worldly piece of music, the digital textures are wrapped round one thing historical, and deeply conventional.
The lyric – “Elsie Marley’s grown so effective / she gained’t rise up to feed the swine / lies in mattress til 8 or 9” – captures a lady some 250 years in the past, whereas the video (directed by Frankie Archer) takes you the current day.
The songwriter feedback…
“Elsie Marley was a effectively beloved landlady who had all of the gossip, all of the booze and knew the best way to have a superb time. She’s somebody I look as much as as a result of she is aware of her price and isn’t gonna fall into that unending grind of labor: ‘Elsie Marley’s grown so effective / she gained’t rise up to feed the swine / lies in mattress til 8 or 9’. You go, Elsie.”
“With this tune I wished it to be a very satisfying slow-head-nodding monitor, which is a little bit of a palette cleanser on the EP. You don’t must stress, simply sit again and let the deep plodding bass and tinkling fiddle wash you alongside. I additionally (as normal) put some manipulated vocal textures in there, utilizing an LFO on my sampler to create a tremolo impact. There’s additionally some random stuff in there – like one thing known as ‘medical A’ which is a tiny slice of a fiddle word re-pitched an octave up after which an octave down by a unique plugin, it simply sort of glitches the sound. These little issues are hidden all via Elsie Marley.”
Tune in now.
‘Stress And Persuasion’ EP can be launched on October 4th.
