Like Plasticine Bubblegum Pink Vinyl PRE‑ORDER

Beautifully-designed gatefold LP with pull-out poster. Pressed on bubblegum pink vinyl.

“Being surrounded by death made me think about how beautiful life is…. I thought about all the ways we are like plasticine in life - how forces we can’t control, contort us into shapes, stretch us thin, and test our resilience. But sometimes, heart-wrenching change can be a thing of beauty.”
 
On her third album, singer-songwriter and producer Gordi - aka Sophie Payten - reflects on the last few transformative years of her life. From coming out and having to adjust the vision of her future, to working as a doctor on the frontline during the pandemic, Gordi explores the beauty, heartbreak and finite nature of human experience across 12 new songs.
 
There’s the effervescent, euphoric pop of ‘Peripheral Lover’, the drama and intrigue of the fractured, experimental ‘Alien Cowboy’, the pain and anguish of songs like ‘PVC Divide’ and more tender moments like the absolute gift of ‘Lunch At Dune’. Throughout the entirety of the genre-bending Like Plasticine, Gordi’s vocals are at the fore, layered over experimental, intelligent production. No two songs are the same, each its own unique part of the whole. All songs are charged with emotion and insight, taking the listener on a breathtaking, cerebral journey along the highs and lows of Gordi’s life (and in part their own).
 
Thought-provoking and insightful, and bursting with emotion and heart, Like Plasticine is an album that fans of Gordi – new and old – are sure to adore for years to come.
