Hatchie — Bad Guy (Official Video)

A nice slice of sun soaked dream pop from Brisbane's Harriette Pilbeam. 'Bad Guy' was included on last years debut album, Keepsake, and was a definite highlight of the live show when she toured the UK in autumn 2019. Close your eyes and pretend it's summer.

Live peeks part 2: Hatchie

I had the pleasure of seeing Hatchie, aka Harriette Pilbeam, Australia's new indie rock queen in waiting, sell out Manchester's new, lovely venue Yes in mid June.

If anything, I think I underestimated her: The songs feel so easy, so effortless that you can be lulled into thinking that they aren't anything special, when really, they are.

The song 'Stay with me' is a case in point: It builds and builds, becoming much more than a charming slice of indie pop. It is anthemic, it is a tour de force... it is a total earworm.
