The deluxe reissue consists of the original LP, with bonus two-track 7\" In My Corner b\/w Upstate. From the original release sheet: 'You free yourself when you take away the script,' says Toronto songwriter Charlotte Cornfield. 'That's where this record came from, dismantling patterns and embracing the process.' The album has a more honed studio sound than her scrappier 2016 release Future Snowbird, and for good reason: it was recorded in 5 different sessions over the course of 3 years. The songs are her strongest and most striking to date - contemplative and contemporary, funny and heart-wrenching - and they've got that stuck-in-your-head-for-days quality that Charlotte is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50475441291595,"sku":"1131069","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a04cfcf6-72f4-4dc4-b7df-64987a8c4875_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727446832"},{"product_id":"highs-in-the-minuses","title":"Highs in the Minuses","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the world shut down in March 2020, Charlotte Cornfield was in the middle of an artist residency in the Rocky Mountains, hunkered down in a hut with a baby grand piano, sketching ideas for a followup album to her Polaris-Longlisted 2019 LP \u003ci\u003eThe Shape of Your Name\u003c\/i\u003e. In a matter of hours, she found herself back home in Toronto with months of touring cancelled and a wide swath of time ahead of her. She began to write feverishly, mining her memories and dreams and recounting them with vivid detail. When the songs were finished, she headed to Montreal to record with producer\/engineer Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Leonard Cohen), drummer Liam O'Neill (Suuns), bassist Alexandra Levy (Ada Lea), and guitarist Sam Gleason (Tim Baker). The group tracked the album in 5 days, mostly live off the floor, seeking to capture the raw emotion of the songs. The result is \u003ci\u003eHighs in the Minuses\u003c\/i\u003e, a memoir in fragments. Here Cornfield fully embraces the role of narrator, moving from one vignette to another in a colourful collage. We see her at 21, heartbroken and lost, carrying a friend's 3-legged cat back to her apartment in a box; then as a teenager, playing a new song for a group of friends on a trampoline. She sings of a magical first date, an ex with a mean streak, two skateboarders gliding in a lakeside parking lot. The brutal honesty in her lyrics brings to mind writers like David Berman and Adrianne Lenker, while musically she conjures a Zuma-era Neil Young, leaping from crunchy guitar rock to piano ballads with effortless grace. \u003ci\u003eHighs in the Minuses\u003c\/i\u003e is Charlotte Cornfield's strongest offering to date, each song a gem in and of itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Double Whammy","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50528124043595,"sku":"1130412","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50528125583691,"sku":"1130411","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9b9a3dc8-b03c-4b4c-8190-87b1b4855c63_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728060855"},{"product_id":"hurts-like-hell","title":"Hurts Like Hell","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eHurts Like Hell\u003c\/em\u003e is Charlotte Cornfield’s sixth album, the first she’s recorded since the birth of her daughter, an inflection point for her as a person and an artist. The album’s recurrent themes of personal growth and renewal, of love’s perseverance through difficulty and shame and awkwardness, are rooted there. “That experience has pulled me out of myself and given me a different outlook on things,” she says. “The vulnerability and fragility and wildness of it all has made me less focused on self, more zoomed out.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHurts Like Hell is the most open-hearted, full-voiced album of her career, and also her most collaborative. Decamping to Philip Weinrobe’s Sugar Mountain studio in Brooklyn, Cornfield was joined by a full backing band, including Palehound’s El Kempner, Lake Street Dive’s Bridget Kearney, Adam Brisbin, and Sean Mullins, with key contributions by Núria Graham, and Daniel Pencer.

Taken up by Meek or Hutson, characters are sung into life as if with a brushstroke. When joined by Kempner or Kearney, it’s a dazzling facet of the natural, lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry of her band. On “Kitchen,” Friedman mirrors Cornfield’s sense of astonishment at finding herself in love, rendering the emotion at its ethereal peak. On “Living With It,” she’s joined by Feist, who Cornfield connected through a group chat for mothers who are touring musicians.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCornfield has arrived at this album bearing both scars from her past and hope for the future. Standing outside of herself and taking stock of what she wanted her music to be in the wake of childbirth, she was brave enough to ask for space, for time, and for help from places and people familiar and unexpected — a group chat, songwriters she was fans of but wasn’t acquainted with, friends whose long-forgotten song leant her the chorus for a new one.
