In a period of intense isolation, and no-doubt self reflection and outward consideration about the state of the world, Pigbaby, an art folk artiste who has become something of a darling of the cultural media since first cropping up on the scene, set about crafting Palindromes. An EP born out of a time of great upheaval, uncertainty, and - for some, at least - creative endeavours, the result might be the most unique and iconic response to the pandemic we've come across in some time.

To give an example or two of what we're talking about, the tracks here feel deeply personal, introspective, and wildly experimental. An unfettered expression of whatever was happening at that time, whether it's watching Sinead O'Connor playing the Virgin Mary in The Butcher Boy, or doom scrolling on this social platform, or that. Iconography that provides reference points to tracks made with guitars, effects, brass, keys, and a real sense of uncompromising attitude. As original as any newborn, but with the maturity of a veteran.
