Pickle Darling Announces New Album 'Cosmonaut' + Shares Two Singles

Since their beloved debut LP Bigness came out in early 2019, Ōtautahi's Lukas Mayo has been teasing the arrival of a sophomore Pickle Darling album at every chance between tours and cover songs, and at long last we've got some tangible content to sink our teeth into. The announcement of the second Pickle Darling album Cosmonaut arrives with two new tracks and a May release date for us to pop in the diary. Along with delightful 48 second morsel 'Rosary', Mayo also gifts us 'A Deep Breath'. The song's masterful lyrics are everything I hoped they would be, sitting neatly between earnest intimacy and bleak relatability, singing about watching episodes of Recess alone and locking eyes with your own reflection in the screen. Haven't we all! Musically, Pickle Darling is sounding self-assured in the first taste of Cosmonaut, which is so far distinctly digital (apt for an album about long-distance relationships), save for the charming plinky collapse outro on 'A Deep Breath'. Snaffle up the new tracks from Pickle Darling, and wash them down with the freshly released Bigness (Instrumentals) here...

Pickle Darling's sophomore album 'Cosmonaut' is out May 21st on ZTapes.
