Album Notes & Community Reviews

On her sophomore album 'Giving the World Away', Hatchie expands her shoegaze and dream-pop origins with robust dance-pop and 90s alternative elements, influenced by acts like Saint Etienne and New Order. Produced by Jorge Elbrecht, the album features more energetic, synth-heavy arrangements intended for a dynamic live setting, providing a backdrop for Harriette Pilbeam’s introspective lyrics that explore themes of anxiety, self-doubt, and survival.
