Kate Bollinger – Lonely & Sweet Devil
Kate Bollinger, the Virginia-born, LA-based multidisciplinary artist, releases a pair of new singles today “Lonely” and “Sweet Devil.”
Though the tracks appear on her kaleidoscopic new album, Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind, due September 27th on Ghostly International, the tracks will also be released as a limited edition 7”.
The two songs show the breadth of the album, which can feel like flipping through your coolest friend’s record collection or scanning a mixtape filled with gems. “Lonely” offers one of its most intimate moments, a homespun piano ballad written with Matthew E. White that fits into a lineage of stripped-back pop classics dating back to The Beatles. The haunting B-side “Sweet Devil” smolders like a jazz standard as interpreted by Feist at her smokiest. “Sweet Devil” is accompanied by a music video, which Bollinger directed, edited and starred in herself.
“My friend Matt (Matthew E. White) and I began getting together and writing songs every couple of weeks or so, back when I lived in Virginia. On October 2nd of 2020, we met up for the first time on the tiny basketball court outside his studio with a keyboard and a vocal mic going through an amp, and wrote one of many since-abandoned songs. ‘Sweet Devil’ and ‘Lonely’ are two of our surviving collaborations,” Bollinger says of the tracks.
