Hariette Pillbeam’s dream-pop project Hatchie emerged fully-formed last year with the impeccable Sugar & Spice, which landed on our rundown of 25 Great EPs From 2018. Since then, she’s released a one-off single, “Adored,” been part of some dream tour bills.
She has released her debut full length album called Keepsake.
Lead single “Without A Blush” exhibits the same sweeping precision that was present on her EP, a starry-eyed reverie for missed potential and second guesses. “If I could kiss you one more time/ Would it make everything alright?” Pillbeam sings. “Or would it just make me a liar?”
The song comes attached to a Joe Agius-directed video featuring Pillbeam performing with her band through a series of moody filters and set-ups.
