Her passion for music continued into college, where she<br \/>\nstudied music and is to thank for her current success, June 2019 release <em>Keepsake<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Before<em> Keepsake<\/em>, Hatchie released her first single in 2017; \u201cTry\u201d established Hatchie\u2019s dreamy shoegaze sound, and her second single, \u201cSure,\u201d followed later that year. Both singles were staples on her EP <em>Sugar and Spice, <\/em>released in 2018. Her sound is widely compared to the Cocteau Twins and the Cranberries\u2019 late Dolores O\u2019Riordan. While both bands were very influential, she also cites Alvvays and My Bloody Valentine as being just as formative in her sound. Their influence shows. As Hatchie continues to carve her name into the world of dream-pop, her sound is likely to mature and differentiate itself from the rest of the genre.<\/p>\n<p>Her pop-dominant range is evident in debut album <em>Keepsake<\/em>; it brings forth doses of nostalgia (as the title would suggest) and snippets from her friendships and past relationships, using her melodic vocals and layered instrumentals. The album begins with \u201cNot That Kind,\u201d an upbeat track of reflection that is wildly catchy. Keeping the same theme but upping the angst, \u201cUnwanted Guest\u201d is vengeful and features especially prominent synth. To round out the album, the tenth and final track, \u201cKeep,\u201d is very introspective and reflective. It ties the album together and will leave you optimistic for all to come from Hatchie. <em>Keepsake<\/em> is just the beginning for Pilbeam\u2019s solo career, and with time, Hatchie will establish herself as a mainstay of shoegaze.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Hazel English, Snail Mail, Empath, Japanese Breakfast<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 1 (Not That Kind), 5 (Unwanted Guest), 10 (Keep)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Amy Shea on 08\/26\/2019 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With time, Hatchie might just establish herself as a mainstay of the shoegaze genre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21359,"featured_media":70966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3235,3230,181],"tags":[8305,8389,8390],"class_list":["post-70965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-amy-shea","tag-hatchie","tag-keepsake"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/hatchie_opt.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21359"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
