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 View Product Quick View Various Artists TOTP Christmas Rock And Pop | UMC | 1LP Released 27th October 2017 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists TOTP Christmas £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5379759 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Prefab Sprout From Langley Park To Memphis Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th September 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Prefab Sprout From Langley Park To Memphis £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19075944631 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lemon Twigs, The Go To School (Indies Only) Rock And Pop | 4AD | 1LP, Includes 7" Released 24th August 2018 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lemon Twigs, The Go To School (Indies Only) £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD SKU: 4AD0094LPX Formats: 1LP, Includes 7" Released Date: 24th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fergie The Dutchess – 10th Anniversary Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd December 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fergie The Dutchess – 10th Anniversary £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4781965 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd December 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Junip Junip Rock And Pop | City Slang | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 19th March 2021 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Junip Junip £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: City Slang SKU: SLANG50045X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 19th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Notting Hillbillies Missing…Presumed Having A Good Time Rock And Pop | Rhino | 1LP Released 13th October 2014 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Notting Hillbillies Missing…Presumed Having A Good Time £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: WBLP79588 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jimmy Somerville Read My Lips Rock And Pop | London Records | 1LP, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st September 2023 £26.00 - £36.00 Select options Jimmy Somerville Read My Lips £26.00 - £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: London Records Formats: 1LP, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st September 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Disheveled Cuss Disheveled Cuss Rock And Pop | Sargent House | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th June 2020 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Disheveled Cuss Disheveled Cuss £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sargent House SKU: SH223LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th June 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Connections Midnight Run Rock And Pop | Anyway | 1LP Released 28th March 2024 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Connections Midnight Run £8.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Anyway SKU: nn283456 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Dubstar One Rock And Pop | Northern Writes | 1LP Released 26th February 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dubstar One £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Northern Writes SKU: NW3A Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th February 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
