Off the back of a fantastic year for Hatchie – including the release of her celebrated debut EP Sugar & Spice as well as sold-out shows across UK, Europe, Australia (sold out tour) and most recently, North America – the Brisbane artist has unveiled a stunning new track and accompanying video for ‘Adored’, filmed and directed by Trevor Crump.
‘Adored’ was debuted as part of Adult Swim’s eighth annual Singles Program, and is now available across all services. Debuting in 2001, Adult Swim serves as the nighttime identity of the US Cartoon Network.
‘Adored’ is the first piece of new music since Hatchie’s debut EP Sugar & Spice was released in May this year, winning praise across the globe. The five-track collection, which has notched up 7.5 million streams and counting, includes singles ‘Try’, ‘Sure’, ‘Sugar & Spice’, ‘Sleep’ (Pitchfork’s ‘Best New Track’) and ‘Bad Guy’. Glowing reviews have followed Hatchie around and don’t seem to be slowing down with the likes of Pitchfork (including a Pitchfork Rising feature), Popjustice, Wonderland and The Guardian UK, triple j, FBi, Spotify, Apple Music, Purple Sneakers, VICE, TheMusic and many more rewarding her undeniable craft with shimmering praise.
Hatchie has just returned from touring North America with Alvvays and Snail Mail as well a string of headline shows, including selling out her debut LA gig. Looking ahead, Harriette Pilbeam and her band prepare to return to Europe for performances at Pitchfork Paris’ Avant-Garde event in October and a London headline show at Electrowerkz on November 1st, before returning to Australia to play festivals Spilt Milk and Falls, as well as joining the just-announced 2019 Golden Plains lineup.
Hatchie is the world of Harriette Pilbeam. To hear her music is to step inside her mind; a dreamy landscape where cascading synths, jangling guitars and white noise undulate beneath irresistible pop melodies. Rather than focusing on the external world of her daily life in Brisbane, Australia, Pilbeam instead turns her gaze inwards, making a soundtrack out of her daydreams, setting her emotional life to song.
In amongst a busy schedule, Hatchie is currently working on her anticipated debut album, which is scheduled for release in 2019. Stay tuned for more exciting Hatchie news!
