Our heads are usually a noisy, chaotic mess as we slowly traverse through the day with little actual physical movement, and Phoebe Green has provided a much-needed soundtrack to match the mood of our emotional static. It arrives via the Manchester riser’s blissfully turbulent new single “There’s Always Someone Kicking The Seat,” a dizzying spell of indie, electronic-pop, and witch house that sets a mental tone for forthcoming album PREMATURE NOSTALGIA, out October 2 via The Green Dream Machine / Absolute.
This glitching pinwheel of a tune, along with the album in full, was written and produced alongside her sister Lucy Green (a.k.a. Elucyve), where the pair experimented with a warped approach to pop music and contained emotion.
“We wanted this song to feel extremely visceral, as though the listener is experiencing the story firsthand,” says Green. “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.”
