Posted May 21, 20232 yr Art School Girlfriend's 2nd studio album Soft Landing will arrive via Fiction Records on 4 August, and is available to pre-order now. It includes the stunning singles 'A Place to Lie', 'Close to the Clouds' and the new single 'Heaven Hanging Low' hcmzId_WmD0 'Heaven Hanging Low' is accompanied by a video directed by Zak Watson. The song is a bridge between the floating melodies of debut record Is It Light Where You Are? and the small euphorias of Soft Landing. Speaking of the song, Art School Girlfriend says: “These lyrics have a lot of religious imagery, but 'Heaven Hanging Low' is actually a queer love song all about finding that celestial and sublime euphoria in your closer, more domesticated surroundings.”
May 21, 20232 yr I really like all 3 songs to be shared so far. Decided to preorder seeing as it was (comparatively) reasonable at £24.99 from Rough Trade.
July 7, 20232 yr Author New single Real Life out now vc2AS4ReYLk 4 out of 4 for me so far. This album is shaping up to be fantastic :wub:
July 26, 20231 yr Album is out v soon, exciting!! Lovely interview with Polly on ITV recently, hopefully this album does well and she continues to succeed at what she is doing and helps to inspire other women to follow in her footsteps working on her own production etc. jefo3L0hdsg
August 4, 20231 yr *swoons* Loved listening to this earlier today, such a chilled listen but still holds interest
August 5, 20231 yr Author I can't get enough of the album ❤️ It's so lush and moving and has me right in my feels with a bottle of wine right now. Out There is a great focus track pick - the standout of the new tracks imo
August 5, 20231 yr Agreed, Out There is definitely a highlight. Some of the later tracks blurred just a little on first couple of listens but now I'm familiar with everything it's wonderful. It's not quite up there with my favourite few of the year but it's close behind
August 7, 20231 yr Yeah this didn't disappoint at all. I can tell that this is going to be perfect for chilled late summer evening listening~ I adore the string arrangements in some of the tracks, particularly in the current single “Real Life” towards the end, which is really growing on me atm. There's a great sense of melancholia throughout, but I also enjoy when it shifts into a different more hopeful gear like when the distorted guitars storm in on “The Weeks”, which is probably my favourite album track on first listen. I'm also obviously a big fan of all of the artwork from this era, all the coloured cloudscapes!
August 11, 20231 yr Agreed that this album is a gorgeous chilled listen. I'm pretty sure 'Waves' just stole my heart
August 12, 20231 yr Just realised this wasn’t even top 100 on Monday :( Aw, that's a shame. Too good for the chart tbh.
