London-based artist Retropxssy just dropped new single, ‘All the Things’.
Produced by Tony Bontana, ‘All the Things’ slides into your eardrums and reminds listeners from the get-go that they can keep their heads above chaotic waters.
“Mind stay split,
burnt out candles with hunched back wicks,
late night trains through Hackney Wick,
lost friends along the way, I’m accustomed to it,
there’s a custom to it,
dark magic to it.”
The video continues Retropxssy’s trend of artsy exaggerated everyday situations that you can’t help but laugh at. She also continues her theme of at least one person in a mask with a stagnant face juxtaposed against the best facial expressions.
“‘All the Things’ is about feeling your back against the wall. Monsters in the shadows. Your mind screams run! But where to? I wrote it when I needed to escape from an intolerable place and realised I had nowhere to go. It also mirrors the hostile place my mind can be. I realised, to quote modern cult classic We’re Going on a Bearhunt: …we’ll just have to go through it! Squelch through the mud and see where we find ourselves.”
Catch Retropxssy in London at her next show on May 2nd, 2024 at Four Quarters Peckham
