Limited edition lipstick red vinyl!
Taste the bittersweet rush of Liquorice, the highly anticipated third album from Brisbane indie pop dreamweaver Hatchie. Pressed on lipstick red coloured vinyl, this release is as vivid and intoxicating as its title suggests, capturing love’s fleeting highs and devastating lows with unflinching honesty.
Written between Brisbane and Melbourne before being completed in Los Angeles with producer Melina Duterte (Jay Som), Liquorice reflects Harriette Pilbeam’s commitment to embracing her instincts and imperfections. The result is a collection of songs that balance playful energy with emotional vulnerability. From the luminous opener ‘Anemoia’ and the title track’s dizzying pull, to the aching ‘Part That Bleeds’ the album finds beauty in the tension between longing, lust, and regret.
Now an established force in indie pop, Pilbeam has carved out a sound that blends shoegaze shimmer with the melodic clarity of classic pop. Her work on Liquorice radiates confidence, playfulness, and a renewed romanticism that recalls the cinematic melancholy of bands like Cocteau Twins, and Lush while remaining unmistakably her own.
If you love Cocteau Twins, Japanese Breakfast, or Alvvays, you’ll love Hatchie’s Liquorice.
