Phoebe Green has announced her sophomore album, PREMATURE NOSTALGIA. The follow-up to 2022’s Lucky Me is set for release on October 2 via The Green Dream Machine/Absolute. It’s led by the woozy, cathartic single ‘There’s Always Someone Kicking the Seat’. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
Green wrote and produced the LP alongside her sister Lucy – a producer of contemporary classical and electronic music in her own right – between their shared flat in Manchester and their parents’ home in Lytham St Annes. “The album mostly explores my tendency to be extremely sentimental and attach value to every little thing – feeling nostalgic before a moment is even over and trying to control the grieving process by going through the motions prematurely in order to prepare myself,” Green shared in a press release.
Commenting on ‘There’s Always Someone Kicking the Seat’, she said: “We wanted this song to feel extremely visceral, as though the listener is experiencing the story firsthand; it was written in a similar way to ‘Reinvent’ lyrically where I just wanted to get an experience off my chest and melodically nothing fit, so I ended up just talking. It’s maybe my only proper break-up song, and Lucy really beautifully encapsulated the chaotic emotional journey sonically. It felt really fitting for the verses to feel quite matter of fact, recounting events, then melancholic choruses followed by a cathartic outro.”
