Following on from her previous single ‘Silverlight‘ – a synth-soaked exploration of the intense, transitory nature of infatuation – Dublin-based artist and producer Lizzie Fitzpatrick aka Coolgirl has shared her latest single ‘High Altar’. Taken from her upcoming EP, Failed Reboot, which is set for release on 8th November via VETA Records (HAVVK, Sive, DYVR, Maria Kelly, St. Bishop), the track is a hypnotic blend of magnetic synths, intriguing samples and atmospheric beats.
GIHE fans will recognise Fitzpatrick as the front person of grunge trio Bitch Falcon, but under her new solo moniker she uses electronics to create vivid, sometimes ambient, sometimes upbeat soundscapes. After releasing a handful of singles over the past few years and performing live alongside the likes of HAVVK, Alyxis and Plus One, Coolgirl is preparing to share her new EP, with ‘High Altar’ offering further insight into what listeners can expect from the upcoming release.
Created in her bedroom studio, on ‘High Altar’ Coolgirl creates a mesmeric blend of analogue synths, modellers and samples – including the sound of knocking on a radiator – to showcase the “emotional aspect of dance music”. By using an upturned bass melody and rolling cutoffs to evoke an “intense sadness”, Fitzpatrick takes listeners on a bittersweet, euphoric journey into her thrilling, experimental world.
Coolgirl’s upcoming EP Failed Reboot will be released on digital platforms and on cassette tape too.
