Limited 180gm yellow colored vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve, includes digital download. People wonder why there's always a massive gap between my albums, says Pip Brown, better known as Ladyhawke, the one-woman synth-pop act from New Zealand. The reason is both complicated and easy. The simple explanation: I've never released anything I'm not proud of. That's important to me.Those instincts have served Brown well, starting with her self-titled debut in 2008, which peaked at No. 16 on the U.K. album charts and No. 1 in Australia and New Zealand's album charts. Ladyhawke's more aurally angular follow-up, Anxiety, charted in the U.K.'s Top 40 and in Australia's and New Zealand's Top 20, respectively. Brown's conviction to authenticity led her on a journey starting in 2013. Over three years, she scrapped a full Ladyhawkealbum (The material didn't feel like me. It felt too dark or something). Once reliant on alcohol to surmount social anxiety (I'd never done a sober show in my life until last December), she quit drinking and focused on getting healthy. Then she welcomed that newfound clarity by crafting her latest release, the blissed-out Wild Things. This album has given me a sense of purpose. Even if it took me months or years to get that purpose, as soon as I finished that record it was like an unbelievable weight was lifted off my shoulders, she says. You can hear that freedom in Wild Things'unabashed exuberance, a powerful, vibrant expression of life itself. Everything I wrote was all the stuff I was going through. I got it out of my system, exorcised it from my soul. A Love Song, The River, Wild Things, Let It Roll, Chills, Sweet Fascination, Golden Girl, Hillside Avenue, Money to Burn, Wonderland, Dangerous
