i don't care if anyone listens to this shit once you do

During a period of particular bleakness in 2021, pigbaby fled the world he knew and travelled along windy, wet roads to find a small cottage in the Irish countryside to nest in. Armed with 3 bottles of whiskey, some potatoes and sausages, old synthesisers, a harmonium and cassette tapes he found in his mother’s attic, pigbaby planned to make his debut album. Over the course of 2 months many people came to visit, and with the help of Max Granger, Maria Somerville, Felix Stephens and Cajm, pigbaby crafted a record of love, heartbreak, hope and remembering his past.

The album sat on a hard drive for some time, and pb occupied himself making music videos for each track to help piece together some sort of narrative, he filmed in indonesia, ireland, new york, japan and London, until the album was finally ready to be heard and seen.

Drawing from a surreal, daydream-like cloud of reference points, the songwriting of mysterious Irish artist pigbaby is painfully honest, and sonically unconventional, drawing on themes including love, loss, mental health and identity. His music shares parallels with oddball auteurs such as Daniel Johnston and Jim O'Rourke — experimental, ambient singer-songwriters who deal in rough-edged truth-telling.
