Debut album ‘Is It Light Where You Are‘ lands on September 10th, and it finds the artist – real name Polly Mackey – aligning with Fiction Records.
Single ‘Softer Side‘ is out to accompany the announcement, the first song Art School Girlfriend recorded for the project.
She comments: “The record starts with that feeling of being on the precipice of change. Before deciding to pull everything apart, go through it all and come out the other side.”
Lyrically, it’s the diaristic account of a break up, set against beautiful, gossamer layers of digital sound.
Polly explains…
“I feel like it’s kind of human nature to project an ideal onto new love interests. To get infatuated and fall in love with this perfect person that you’ve created in your head. Then through no-one’s fault, we both slowly unpick this, and end up searching for this thing that never was. So when it came to the video, what better way to represent this than through a love story with the most mythical of all beings.”
