Limited Edition Recycled Vinyl. Catalog Number: DCR048V Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 198391795244 When desire loses its direction - with no person or object to pin itself to - it has a strange tendency to turn us toward the past. We find ourselves surveying past infatuations and failed romances. Armed with the knowledge of hindsight, previous entanglements reconfigure and reveal themselves. Sometimes, we become privy to the true nature of our attraction, or learn the patterns that have played out across our romantic lives to which we have been blind. Nothing can be quite as bracing or mortifying. Emma Russack would know. These reassessments and revelations stretch across About The Girl, her brilliant, searching sixth record, produced by Russack and long-time collaborator John Lee at Phaedra Studios. This is an album about longing's impossible force, tackling how relationships both muddle and illuminate one's sense of self. Russack says the record is partly inspired by the dissociations brought on by dating apps. "It's about the funny experiences that happen when you're untethered" she says, "I had these awful experiences and encounters, that made me also reflect on my past experiences with different people, romantic or otherwise."
