Kate Bollinger – What’s This About (La La La La)
Virginia-born, LA-based multidisciplinary artist Kate Bollinger is back today with “What’s This About (La La La La),” the baroque-styled opener from her long awaited kaleidoscopic debut album Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind, due September 27th on Ghostly International.
The new track follows previously-released album previews “To Your Own Devices” and “Any Day Now,” and finds Bollinger conjuring a sense of cartoonish whimsy that places her in league with the mystical pop greats of the Elephant 6 Collective, a scene whose idiosyncratic spin on the classic rock era helped inform the patchwork sprawl of her record.
Of “What’s This About (La La La La),” Bollinger says “This was one of those songs that arrived in my head fully formed, kind of like it was delivered to me by someone else, and as its conduit I banged around on guitar trying to find where the chords were. It’s sort of an ode to Of Montreal’s Cherry Peel and Apples in Stereo’s Tone Soul Evolution.”
