pigbaby - i don't care if anyone listens to this shit once you do - LP - Vinyl [JUN 28]

LP - Black Vinyl.   

Experimental Irish artist pigbaby shares his 11-track debut album, ‘I don’t care if anyone listens to this shit once you do’. Mixed by Rainy Miller, the LP is presented in 3mm spine sleeve designed by LifeIsUnfair on PLZ Make It Ruins.

Drawing from a surreal, daydream-like cloud of reference points, the song-writing of mysterious Irish artist pigbaby is painfully honest, and sonically unconventional, drawing on themes including love, loss, mental health and identity. His music shares parallels with oddball auteurs such as Daniel Johnston and Jim O’Rourke -experimental, ambient singer-songwriters who deal in rough-edged truth-telling.

During a period of particular bleakness in 2021, pigbaby fled the world he knew and travelled along windy, wet roads to find a small cottage in the Irish countryside to nest in. Armed with three bottles of whiskey, some potatoes and sausages, old synthesisers, a harmonium and cassette tapes he found in his mother’s attic, pigbaby planned to make his debut album. Over the course of two months many people came to visit, and with the help of Max Granger, Maria Somerville, Felix Stephens and Cajm, pigbaby crafted a record of love, heartbreak, hope and remembering his past.
