Petticoat is a spiritual sequel to Sun & Snow. 40 minutes long, deeply personal, and they're both concept albums. Petticoat tells the rough story of someone reconciling with a wasted and ruined childhood, reflecting on how they came to be, and growing a new outlook on the world. I seperated it into 3 sections, "Sleeping", "Dreaming", and "Nightmares" so that this concept might come across better. I really leaned into sampling on this one, with practically every song having a sample in it. My favorite sample use is at the end of The Loving Wife, which samples a section of a short monologue from the movie Funny Games U.S.. I also really like the dreamcast opening at the end of Sleeping Bends, I put it there to symbolize the transition between the Sleeping section and the Dreaming section. Confused at this sampling talk? You might be used to the streaming cut of this album. That's right, there are 2 seperate cuts of Petticoat, one with the samples and one without, because there was no way in hell I could clear any of these samples.
"Resist All The Urges That Make You Wanna Go Out And Kill!"
A dirty album for dirty creatures, like you! Best listened to in the throws of insomnia.
This album dedicated to Thomas(ine) Hall and the Public Universal Friend.
