NEW SINGLE RELEASE – The Last Dinner Party ‘On Your Side’
17 November 2023
It’s as if Grimes made gentler music or if Portishead and FKA Twigs had a robotic baby. On Instagram she described it as having been “made with digital tenderness” and accompanied it with a video of two lovers on a beach, interspersed with pixels, in a deep cyan tone.
Her last EP ‘Steps’ was released in November 2023, a raw and emotional collection of songs covering her experiences of sexual trauma. ‘Computer Love’ bears some similarity to the track ‘Intro / It Happens’ as both have lo-fi vocals, but this new release certainly feels softer. In an interview with Fred Perry Sarah states that 90s’s trip-hop taught her to “not be overly precious with the recording quality for certain things when you’re making music if you want to make your own world of sound”. It does feel as though she is experimenting with soundscapes here, layering them with her own forlorn vocals. It’s likely to sound stunning live.
The last couple years have been good for Sarah. She supported King Krule during his Space Heavy Tour and released multiple mixtapes and EPs. This is the first single from ‘Midnight Snack Volume Two’, the follow-up from the original mixtape released in 2022 which featured an accompanying film. It’s safe to assume we can expect the same for this new mixtape and we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out.
