LP on limited Baby Blue vinyl. As Pickle Darling, Christchurch, New Zealand-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Lukas Mayo (they/them) zooms in on the universality of existential thought with earnest playfulness. After years of touring on previous albums, Bigness (2019, Z Tapes) and Cosmonaut (2021, Z Tapes) and supporting artists like Lucy Dacus and The Beths, Pickle Darling’s third album, Laundromat, marks their debut with Father/Daughter Records. Laundromat !nds magic in the mundane, pointing past perfectionism and instead leans into the art of the everyday. Art is everywhere: in the shape we make out of a napkin while waiting for our co”ee to arrive, in the text we send to a friend in need, in the beat we make on the steering wheel while stuck at a red light. Laundromat was created in what Mayo describes as their first stable living situation, away from difficult flatmates, tense surroundings, and abysmal landlords. As an artist who writes, records, and produces all of their music at home, the security of their current place allowed their ideas to blossom. Writing soon became a daily practice, and rather than laboring over each song like they had previously some songs on previous records were months and months in the making Mayo found themselves drawn to the spark of what had created the initial idea in the !rst place. Mayo highlights folk artists Connie Converse, Bill Fay, and Vashti Bunyan as passengers in the process of Laundromat; artists who put music into the world then disappeared from the public eye. “I wanted to capture the feeling of making music that’s out of step with everything around it,” they explain. “I wanted it to be a lot more immediate.” Mayo recorded a lot of Laundromat’s ideas onto their phone, giving themselves permission to allow those ideas to be the entire song. The enforced length of what a song should be a neat, 3-minute sellable product has always bothered Mayo, and while some of the songs on Laundromat do !t around that particular mold, Pickle Darling says the smaller pockets on the album were them striving to create their “own kind of normal. ” “A just reward for a musician who’s been on the cusp of a big breakthrough for several years now.” Rolling Stone AU/NZ “An infectious artist with a bright future ahead.” Ones To Watch “Their mastery of starry-eyed songcraft recalls mid-’60s Beach Boys or Harry Nilsson: catchy and innocent-feeling, able to create a whole world in a single two-minute track.” Bandcamp Daily “The very embodiment of the kind of bleeding-heart intimacy that should define bedroom pop convention, but rarely ever does.” – Bandcamp Daily “Inspired little flashes of magic.” – GoldFlakePaint “Wholesome… soothing and lyrically beautiful like Lomelda’s or Tomberlin’s ballads.” – Stereogum “They’ve refined what makes them great, and I imagine that audience is only going to get bigger.” – RNZ’s Tony Stamp Artist Pickle Darling Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Father/Daughter Records Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Early Geometry In Good Health King Of Joy Head Terrarium Choruses Computer Repair Laundromat Marcie Kinds Of Love Invercargill Angel Scared More Kinds Of Love Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Swans Public Castration Is A Good Idea Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Mute | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th December 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Swans Public Castration Is A Good Idea £25.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Mute SKU: STUMM394 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo Meds Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Elevator Lady Limited | 1LP Released 31st May 2019 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Meds £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Elevator Lady Limited SKU: 6711046 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View DOGS The Melodies Massacre Years Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Reminder Records | 1LP Released 13th January 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders DOGS The Melodies Massacre Years £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Reminder Records SKU: REM18 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Drenge Strange Creatures Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | BMG Records | 1LP Released 22nd February 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Drenge Strange Creatures £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538434958 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ex, The Blueprints For A Blackout Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | The Ex | 2LP Released 15th April 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ex, The Blueprints For A Blackout £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: The Ex SKU: EX018019 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 15th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dead Arms Simply Dead Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Hominid Sounds | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 31st May 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dead Arms Simply Dead £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Hominid Sounds SKU: HOSO25LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lemons, The Hello, We’re The Lemons Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Burger Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th February 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lemons, The Hello, We’re The Lemons £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Burger Records SKU: BRGR788LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nothing Guilty Of Everything Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Relapse | 1LP Released 19th August 2022 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nothing Guilty Of Everything £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Relapse SKU: RR47941 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rolo Tomassi Where Myth Becomes Memory Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Eone Music | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 11th March 2022 £22.00 -
