Little Lunch Records is excited to announce the sophomore album 'Pillows' from Naarm/Melbourne-based three-piece Pretty in Pink, out September 1st. Their new single 'Pressure Socks', out Friday June 9th, encapsulates the thoughtful post punk minimalism of their shimmering second album.

Pretty in Pink (PIP) is Claire McCarthy (guitar/vocals), Lauren Mason (guitar) and Elliot Taylor (bass/drums). The band is named after the 1986 film, in which Andie (Molly Ringwald) is a highschool outcast hanging at the record store. In the final scene, Andie utters, “I just wanna let them know that they didn’t break me.” Like the movie (or its reputation: viewing is not necessary), PIP captures a euphoric nostalgia for being an outsider among friends; the romantic allure of standing apart, of having to make your own scene.

PIP ponders the day to day, considering the physical and emotional space the past takes up and how ‘where’ we live so closely shapes our lives. PIP is both on point and different - soft and painful, hard and sweet.

Claire recorded and mixed PIP’s first album of lo-fi pop tracks in her bedroom during the pandemic (Eternal Soundcheck 2021). PIP’s latest work was made with Lauren and Elliot. The album was recorded at Head Gap studio by Finn Keane. - Little Lunch Records
