    Piney Gir's newest offering You Are Here (released 1st November, 2019) sees her creating art-pop, featuring spikes and spaces with the help of her trusty vintage Eventide (which Tony Visconti famously said "Fucks with the fabric of time" before putting lashings of it all over Bowie's Berlin Trilogy). This tool gave Piney the wherewithal to take the listener to a more angular place echoing the darkness on the record. It has been a weird time for everyone, with Trump and Brexit and #metoo causing chaos; Piney wrote a record about this collective experience, both broadly relatable and intimately personal. You Are Here is an ode to self-care and preserving mental health in the face of adversity, it's an album celebrating silver linings while still acknowledging the dark clouds. There are echoes of the signature Piney sound, with strong melodies, tuneful riffs, and lyrics that sound sweet at first listen and evolve to a kind of dark & twisted storytelling. Piney’s inner Laura Palmer emerges here with a tender bitter-sweetness, reminiscent of post-punk basement bars and cherry martinis.

    Originally hailing from Kansas but having lived in London for many years, Piney is a prolific and prodigious musician. You Are Here is Piney’s seventh record and it’s her most realised one yet. From the wide-eyed debut Peakahokahoo, through to The Piney Gir Country Roadshow period, the folktronic fusion of The Yearling, the retro psych-pop of Geronimo! and 2015’s mR. hYDE’S wILD rIDE, Piney has evolved and deepened her trademark sweetness-with-strychnine aesthetic. She has gained substantial critical acclaim and a devoted fan-base.

    Joining her in the studio for You Are Here is her regular collaborator and guitar player, Garo Nahoulakian (who also plays in Gaz Coombes’ band), in addition to the "Variety Show" duet, Moshi Moshi pop darling Sweet Baboo appears on the album, playing saxophone on “Peanut Butter Malt Shop Heartthrob” and “Dreamcatcher” and Willie J Healey sings guest vocals on “Puppy Love.”

    The album was nearly called “It’s Been A Shit Year For Everyone ” but she changed the title to You Are Here, because it has a zen and mindful quality to it. Through all the hardship, the album is essentially about rebirth and looking ahead to happier times. As Piney explains; “I didn’t want to surrender to the darkness. This album has a fighting spirit to it."
