Ex-Ash guitarist and recent Bat For Lashes touring guitarist Charlotte Hatherley recorded her third solo album (and Minty Fresh US debut) New Worlds in a week in London without demos or overdubs. Fittingly, standout “Full Circle” looks emphatically at stripping away the extraneous. After speaking with Charlotte, we also learned it has something to do with Kandinsky’s color theory. As she put it: “I loved his quest for finding the truth hidden in nature, and his experiments with our instinctive and emotional response to shapes and colors.” Read the rest of her thoughts and try to remember what you learned in Art History while you take a listen.
In this week’s ‘Gum Drop we also offered the chance to win the last available copy of Tegan & Sara’s ON/IN/AT deluxe edition.
