Bandcamp’s Album of the Day: daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the-day/pickle-darling-cosmonaut-review

Multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer, Lukas Mayo aka Pickle Darling, returns with the first offerings since their debut album, Bigness, was released in 2019 to applause from international indie tastemakers including Bandcamp’s Album of the Day and Goldflakepaint extolling it as “inspired little flashes of magic.”

The upcoming album Cosmonaut finds them leaving not only the bedroom but… the atmosphere. While earlier releases pulled from the world of mumblecore films, Cosmonaut pulls from science fiction and space travel, as seen in the album’s artwork (a tribute to the art of classic science fiction books such a Dune and The Rings of Saturn), the song titles (‘Achieve Lift!’), and the live band’s outfits (the band wears boiler suits looking almost like a training space crew).

2020 set Pickle Darling on a touring trajectory with indie-pop dream boats, The Beths, and 2021 will have them releasing Cosmonaut with a full 12-date New Zealand tour, to be announced...
