Australian singer-songwriter Katie Dey has announced her next album: forever music will be self-released on January 28. The album, which Dey recorded entirely on her own, will be intially available as a Bandcamp exclusive, although she notes in a press release that “it may be released on streaming services in the future if i feel like it.” Listen to the first two singles from the record, ‘unfurl’ and ‘real love’, below.
Talking about the new album, Katie Dey said in a statement (via Stereogum):
forever music is about the eternal power of music and genuine love between women.
its about staying alive as long as possible, in defiance against all odds,
through life-threatening sickness in world made to hurt u,
doing what little things possible to care for the people you love the most.
i think it’s the most vulnerable and straightforward music i’ve ever made.
my voice is frequently unfiltered and dry and i tried to keep the songwriting and production as efficient and minimal as possible.
i was inspired by musicians including but not limited to : tori amos, utada hikaru, prince, ryuichi sakamoto, regina spektor, jpegmafia, & hatsune miku.
it was written / performed / produced / mixed / mastered by me at my home in melbourne australia.
Katie Dey’s most recent solo LP, mydata, came out in 2020, followed by the remix album urdata. Late last year, she shared a cover of Laugh & Peace’s ‘In the Sky’.
