Erin Anne’s second album, the gleaming, electrified Do Your Worst, charts that uninhibited romp through disaster. Written amid the rubble of personal grief and professional disappointment, later exacerbated by the devastation of a global pandemic, the record deepens Erin’s venture into the blur between human and machine, adding a new roster of digital instruments to the mix. Drawing on dark, glossy ’80s synthpop as well as the unabashed bombast of bands like The Killers, the L.A.-based songwriter deploys a cyborg persona to articulate a feeling of displacement from the world as a queer artist struggling to survive the machinations of late capitalism. With bright, interweaving synthesizers and ripples of Auto-Tuned vocals, Do Your Worst poses a dare to the world: Whatever you have in store, I’ll take it standing. Erin began writing her second album not long after adding a MIDI keyboard and vocal processing hardware to her home studio setup. While exploring her new gear, she found that she could work in the same vein as the artists and producers she loved the most. Do Your Worst takes inspiration from the music of Patrick Cowley, the disco and hi-NRG producer best known for working alongside Sylvester. Erin was taken by Cowley’s use of vocoder on the 1982 album Mind Warp, where his distorted vocals create a queer, mutant subjectivity. That album rang out against the cataclysm of the AIDS epidemic; Erin found resonance in Cowley’s music during the present-day pandemic. “I have found the most catharsis and the most safety in listening to the music of people in really, really horrific circumstances making something lasting and profoundly beautiful,” she says. Throughout Do Your Worst, which was mixed by Sarah Tudzin of Illuminati Hotties, songs like “Typhoid Mary” and “Florida” reckon with loss, despair, and abjection. “This Hungry Body” sears through pandemic-era touch starvation, while “Mirror Mirror” attends to the noxious but necessary funhouse of social media. On the playful, guitar-driven “Eve Polastri’s Last Two Brain Cells Have a Debate,” Erin uses the spy thriller TV show Killing Eve to explore queer codependency and masochism. Among these fraught subjects, Erin Anne finds opportunities for release. She stages internal conflict on a scale so massive that its details start to become clear; if they don’t resolve, they at least become palpable. “I’m very much a maximalist when it comes to production. I like vast landscapes. I like a stratosphere and a core — I want the bass to be beneath the floor,” Erin says. “This record is, in a lot of ways, a collection of some of the first moments that I was technologically able to achieve accurate renderings of how I hear my own emotional world.” Artist Erin Anne Genre Rock And Pop Label Carpark Records Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Monday Feeling Loose Cannon Club Eve Polastri's Last Two Brain Cells Have A Debate Naked Minimum Mirror Mirror Do Your Worst Echo Park Vampire Florida This Hungry Body Underground Typhoid Mary Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Erin Anne and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Erin Anne Tough Love Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Carpark Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 13th December 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Erin Anne Tough Love £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Carpark Records SKU: CAK140LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 13th December 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Gravy Train (A Ballad Of) A Peaceful Man Progressive | Akarma | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 30th January 2024 £24.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Gravy Train (A Ballad Of) A Peaceful Man £24.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Akarma SKU: nn279955 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 30th January 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Retribution Gospel Choir 3 Rock And Pop | Chaperone | 1LP, Includes CD Released 28th January 2013 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Retribution Gospel Choir 3 £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Chaperone SKU: CRL006 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 28th January 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sleaford Mods Mr. Jolly Fucker b/w Tweet Tweet Tweet Rock And Pop | Fourth Dimension | 7", Single Released 6th April 2015 £6.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sleaford Mods Mr. Jolly Fucker b/w Tweet Tweet Tweet £6.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fourth Dimension SKU: FDS88 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 6th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Wrong Creatures Rock And Pop | Abstract Dragon | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 9th January 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Wrong Creatures £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Abstract Dragon SKU: COOP010LP Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View South From Here On Out Rock And Pop | Club AC | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th March 2021 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders South From Here On Out £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Club AC SKU: AC3018011 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Telex This Is Telex Rock And Pop | Mute | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 30th April 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Telex This Is Telex £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mute SKU: LMUTEL30 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bob Dylan John Wesley Harding Rock And Pop | Sony Legacy | 180g, 1LP Released 3rd November 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Dylan John Wesley Harding £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Legacy SKU: 88985451691 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 3rd November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View No-Man Together We’re Stranger Rock And Pop | Kscope | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th February 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders No-Man Together We’re Stranger £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE865 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Magpie Salute, The High Water 1 Blues | Provogue | 180g, 2LP Released 6th August 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Magpie Salute, The High Water 1 £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: 0819873017165 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 6th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Liam Gallagher John Squire Just Another Rainbow Rock And Pop | Warner Records | 7", Etched, Single Released 5th January 2024 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Liam Gallagher John Squire Just Another Rainbow £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Records SKU: 5054197856600 Formats: 7", Etched, Single Released Date: 5th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
