PELVIS WRESTLEY Andy, or: the Four Horsegirls of the Apocalypse (Pink Vinyl)

Popis:

Introducing the new edition of Pelvis Wrestley's sophomore LP, "ANDY, or: The Four Horsegirls of the Apocalypse", now on pink frosting vinyl. Andy, or: the Four Horsegirls of the Apocalypse, is a fantastical meditation on impermanence through the lens of missing persons, and people we miss. Written in the back-and-forth days of unclear pandemic guidelines, the songs are informed by the diasporas of 2020, where so many people relocated without even the suggestion of a goodbye party. The record is named for a previous Benjamin Violet project, ANDY, which saw its members relocate during lockdown. As Pelvis Wrestley, Violet repurposes the mythology of the titular demigod for a new era. The repress includes a bonus track, "Inside, Over", previously released by ANDY to commemorate the project. This record is best described as Dolly Parton meets David Bowie with a hearty seasoning of synth-pop.

Upon the release of the record, KUTX named Pelvis Wrestley artist of the month in June. Finding its legs, the record caught the attention of baroque pop royalty, Kishi Bashi, who called it “An electronic melody coaster ride through every 80’s classic flick you missed out on. Hints of Springsteen, James Mercer and The Cars. Best served now.” The album was also recently ranked the #1 Best Austin Album of 2024 by the Austin-American Statesman. RIYL: Of Montreal, Arcade Fire, Sparklehorse, Sparks.
