Album review
Art School Girlfriend, the moniker of Polly Mackey, has announced her sophomore album, Soft Landing. Set for release on August 4 via Fiction Records, the LP will include the previously shared track ‘A Place to Lie’, as well as a new single called ‘Close to the Clouds’. Check it out and find the album artwork and tracklist below.
“’Close to the Clouds’ is about looking back on my twenties with some kind of wistful hindsight. I wanted it to embody the energy of the music I spent a lot of my teenage years and early twenties listening to,” Mackey explained in a statement. “It’s about reflecting on the winding path to contentment, having finally figured out how to find it.” “The album title Soft Landing is taken from these lyrics, and this track represents a lot of the record’s themes: reflection, joy, coming of age.
Soft Landing will follow Mackey’s 2021 debut Is It Light Where You Are. “By the time it was out in the world, I felt unattached to it,” she said. “This new record truly feels like my debut.”
