The 7"s b-side is the 2018 Adult Swim single "Adored," available physically for the first time. Of the release Hatchie’s Harriette Pilbeam says: “it was a dream come true to record this cover of one of my favourite collaborations with one of my favourite artists. I’m so glad it’s finally getting released because it’s extra special to me.” The limited Sometimes Always 7” is available for pre-order and due June 20th via Double Double Whammy and Heavenly/Ivy League. 100% of sales from this release on Bandcamp Day this Friday, June 5 will be donated to The Movement for Black Lives and The Loveland Foundation. LISTEN TO “SOMETIMES ALWAYS” Last year, Hatchie released her critically acclaimed debut album, Keepsake, which The New York Times called “blissed-out but not blissful synth-pop,” and NPR hailed as “gorgeous, fuzz-drenched dream-pop.” VICE praised the songwriting as “timeless and inviting” and Paste called it “life affirming… every track here is a knockout.” Keepsake is available now via Double Double Whammy.

"Obsessed" ponders friendships and how they bolster our lives." - KCRW "Keepsake is synthpop evocative of romantic dreams, ambitions, and perhaps delusions, played as overwhelming and involving enough to transition from infatuation to obsession to a full-on state of doom." - Pop Matters "Hatchie dares to imagine what love, friendship, and community look like from multiple perspectives, in different tempos, in entirely new worlds." - UPROXX "On her anticipated debut full-length Keepsake, Pilbeam doesn't just stick to shoegaze signifiers but maintains her timeless and inviting songwriting as she branches out to new wave, dance music, pop, and indie rock. "Unwanted Guest" especially feels like an arena-filler with its anthemic guitar riffs and it's rafters-reaching atmospherics." - Vice "...no doubt that [Keepsake] will brighten your summer." - High Snobiety "If Sugar & Spice was an out-of-nowhere brief burst of swirling dreampop that struck an uncanny balance between the genre’s dual predilections towards thick haze and bracing clarity, her debut LP Keepsake sounds bigger and bolder in every way." - Bandcamp "From the opening notes of "Not That Kind" until the closing utterances of "Keep," her vice-like grip over your attention never threatens to wane. This is a record destined to sit at the beginning of a promising legacy in years to come, as Hatchie continues to create jangling sonic comfort food far into the future." - Under the Radar "Between the dream pop and shoe gaze are tracks with a little more of a danceable pulse, as well as others that fold in the heaviness of industrial or gothic pop/rock...And then are some that incorporate all of the above, because Pilbeam is not one for strict labels." - Consequence of Sound “Every track here is a knockout, each equally life affirming and capable of soundtracking nearly any indie film. Keepsake is a gorgeous listen front to back. Get ready to believe the hype." - Paste
